Then... (In Tribute to those who lost their lives to SUDEP)
Then... (In Tribute to those who lost their lives to SUDEP)
A cooing baby rests
Nursing on his mother’s breasts
Proud father goes on with his dreams
Of his future son’s sports schemes
While Grandparents stand in the midst
Wallowing in ‘Spoiling Grandson’ list
Months have grown by
Son has no longer become shy
Now talking and walking
Then all of a sudden while sleeping
Parents hear a scary cry, sounding eerie inside
Rising from their sleep, rushing to his side
Immediately the father makes a phone call
Suddenly the Medics and Ambulance Tech are in the hall,
Transported immediately to the Hospital
THEN ….
Exhausted, but excited, now fiancée is off the phone
Glazing at her new rock, which she was stuck to her like Super Glue
Laughing hard, was the fiancé who was in sheer delight
For this entire dramatic event was just a pure sight
For the “Future” In-Laws were already making plans
Bickering how it all will come into plan
For yet has there been a wedding date ever been set
And ‘twas yet, to everyone’s amusement, the Bride is beset
While the future Groom kissed his future Bride goodnight
Not knowing that fate lied in sight
While everyone headed to slumber
His fiancée decided to lumber
Overwhelmed with all the decisions of the wedding
As soon as the sun rose the next morning
Mother checked in; Medics called, transported to the Hospital
THEN ….
Proud Mama rooted and watched with a gleam
As her daughter continued gaining points on the balance beam
Gymnastics was always her forte, while in band played the flute
While her seizures were fully controlled, she was wild and witty as a hoot
Her Mama always demanded the best
For her grade point averages excelled above the rest
Universities expressed their interest with her in mind
Scholarships everywhere in the mail, for graduation was not far behind
Mama and daughter was quite a pair
Everything between them they had to share
Then one day something tragic happened which was unexplained
“Mama, I don’t feel right”, daughter loudly proclaimed
Mama rushed to her aid, and phoned the Doctor, “Help me”
Office inquired what had happened, all they heard was “Seize”
Mama hung up on them, phoned 9-1-1, and off they went to the Hospital
THEN …
Tears, flowing down, for this cannot be real
Please, someone please, tell me that this is all surreal
For we have just been told
S U D E P has been unfold
Taking our loved ones lives away
So quickly, so suddenly; at loss for words that one can say
This is so unfair, never having a chance at life
Instead of happiness, now we must deal with strife
We look at the casket, such sweet face abounds
Tears, flowing down, we cannot stop the crying sounds
Someone, please tell us cause of this tragedy?
Someone, please tell us how to stop this malady?
Epilepsy, is that what is was? Buried now with deepest sorrows
Embracing of their memories, forever and all of our tomorrows
