Living in constant, chronic pain
Requires all effort and energy
To get out of bed
To dress and ready for the day
…..to Rise Above the Pain
No plans made
The only thought
To manage…to make it through
To distract or shift focus
…..to Rise Above the Pain
Force myself to rest
To take time to stretch
To shift and shuffle step
From the back to chair
…..to Rise Above the Pain
The beauty of the day
Surrounds and uplifts
The gentle movement of air
From the fan
…..to Rise Above the Pain
The bright ray of sun
Coming through the window
Casting its rays
Across the room
…..to Rise Above the Pain
Bouncing across the floor
Racing toward the wall
Reflecting towards the ceiling
Filling the room with light
…..to Rise Above the Pain
The heart is lifted
The body revolts
The coursing pain
Attempts to overwhelm
…..to Rise Above the Pain
Prayers are answered
A warmth within
An inner strength provided
The welcome assist
…..to Rise Above the Pain
