Blessings can abound
Even in the most barren of spaces…
The intensity of a flare
Length of which is unknown…
Yet finally gives way
Returning you to your path…
Discouragement is easy
Given the hurdles thrust our way…
Our constant companion
Pain wants to be in the forefront…
Often we feel embattled
Emotions ready to boil…
Just as a geyser
Builds up to explode…
Allow a tear or more
To flow…to cleanse…
Allow yourself to smile
When your body is screaming in pain…
Allow yourself to enjoy
The infectious laughter of a child…
Open a window
To breath the fresh air…
Close your eyes
Ponder the positive…
The blessings around us
Take so many forms…
From the visit of a friend
To spend a few minutes…
The unexpected phone call
From someone you hold dear…
The ever gentle
Kiss from your loved one…
Your loyal canine
Who curls up next to you…
Pain though still present
Fades to the background…
