Haiku Sick Sucks

I know that kids must
suffer colds, flus, and other
ailments – it’s normal.

But I can’t stand to
see my little Bean so ill…
snotty, whiny, sad.

He coughs, gags, sniffles…
sneezes make his eyes water.
He’s tired, frustrated.

He comes to us and
all he wants is to be held;
cuddles up closely.

His eyes speak to me,
“Mommy, make it stop hurting.”
My heart is breaking.
