On July 28, 2009-
I got the news,
that Kaci's blood was not fine,
Type 1 Diabetes,
What the heck does that mean?
Does it mean no more sugar
no more sweet jelly beans?
In two years I have learned,
That it means so much more.
It means poking and testing
and counting galore!
It means testing and bleeding
and peeing on strips
It means checking your ketones
Whenever your sick.
It means feeling shaky
Whenever your low.
and having your medical bag
Always in tow.
It means taking shots
Each time that you eat.
It means always paying attention
And being on your feet!
In means feeling different
when you want to feel same.
And wearing your medical bracelet
With condition and name.
But it also means HOPE
Being brave, being strong!
Knowing that everyone is working
Though the hours seem long!
One day it will be different!
One day you will see.
A CURE will be found-
And Kaci will be FREE!
