Poems

Just For a Bit

A poem by Jordan whose brother has Crohn’s disease

Forgotten

Temporarily
Alone

For a bit
Crying

Sighing
Unimportant

Minor detail
Just for a bit

Tides turn
Sunrises and sunsets

Darkness
Light

Hang to
Whatever you can

Just for a bit
Be strong

Just for a bit
Be strong

Just for a bit
I am drifting

Cloud
And a sitting

Boulder

Just for a bit


A poem by Michael, age 8

Mothers Day morning, I couldn’t lift my

head.

All I wanted to do was lay in my bed.

We went to Mount Sinai because

Dr. Breglio said

I needed a blood transfusion.

After mom told me that, it left me with such

Confusion.

The blood went drip, drip, drip into my arm.

Not knowing who’s blood it was I was very

Alarmed.

It could of been A-Rod’s for all I knew but it

didn’t

Matter because it made me feel as good as

new.

My numbers went up so quickly I was in

shock

I felt so strong, as strong as a rock.

As time goes on I’m going to beat this

Crohn’s Disease

No matter how much… It Challenges Me!
