Reassurance needed

 

_{She needs reassurance}

_{She wants to know the answer to}

_{Questions I don’t know}

 _{Like “Will I lose my hair again?”}

_{“What treatment do you think I will have?”}

_{“Will I have to stay in hospital?}

_{She needs reassurance}

_{I give half hearted answers sometimes, I lie}

_{And reply,}

_{“You might do, but only a little maybe”}

_{“ I’m not too sure “}

_{“I don’t think so”}

_{It makes me feel bad but how can I say nothing,}

_{remain silent when …}

_{She needs reassurance}

_{She sad, she has been weeping most of the day,}

_{She tells me she doesn’t have the fight in her any more,}

_{is older and life is too difficult sometimes,}

 _{I hold her so tight as if to take all of the burden from her.}

_{I tell her my father is about, guiding, looking after her like always}

_{She needs reassurance}

_{I can tell the things that I do know though}

_{That I will be by her side}

 _{At every appointment,}

_{During every treatment}

_{When she needs to be nursed, I will be there}

_{I will brighten up her darkest days}

_{I will be there when she’s cured}

_{I will be there when we  will beat  this disease}

_{This she can  be assured}
