Thought I'd share another poem:

"Lovett"

By:  Jennifer Neal (copyrighted Jennifer Neal 2009) 

I've named you Lovett
because there are times
when you cause me so much pain
so much heartbreak
so much misery

But then I remember that you are a part of me
from that I cannot hide
I can run
but you always remind me
because you're deep inside

so I learn to love you
my dearest, Lovett

no matter how hard it is
I adore you unconditionally

no matter what you do

I love you

that which we have grown to hate
from our own selves that we cannot escape
I learn to love it
and let it go

I love you, Lovett
and you'll always know

 This poem is about my polycystic kidney disease...I used to say the cysts on my kidneys were alien babies ;) .... then I just named it one giant baby...and his name is Lovett. :)
