The following two poems were written by Kelly.

Capable

May I hold her?
As the crying baby looked at me
I reached out to comfort
My hands felt tight
My grasp weak
I panicked
This child is not mine

Don't let her fall
Keep her safe in my hands
Is this just the beginning?
I love holding babies
Please don't take this from me

Give me strength lil girl
Let me comfort you
The way I'd like to be comforted now
Let me hold you
The way I'd like to be held now

If I feel weak
I'll make sure your safe.

In someone's capable hands.



Plan for Peace

I feel your pain
While the attack continues
I'm sorry that I can't protect you
For I am your culprit

I do have a plan for peace
I pray that it is successful
I want to be able to save you
And keep you from harms way
Work with me

I need you to carry me
I need you to keep me stable
I need you to keep me happy
I need you to feel complete

I hear your cries
While I walk upstairs
I shutter and groan with you
For I am your menace

Let me try to help
Please be resilient
Let's be at peace with each other
And live happily together again

About the Author

Kelly is a relative newcomer to the entire arthritis community as well as CreakyJoints, having first been treated for RA in the spring of 2004.

"Having survived a Brain Anuerysm in 1989, I thought that was enough for me to endure in my life, but guess again. LOL," she says.

"I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy," she adds. "I pray nightly for this to be a fluke and that it will go away as quickly as it came on. Maybe my prayers will be answered.

"Along with my tears, words help me release my frustration."
