There are many lessons learned
Along the path of pain.
We embrace a new day
The person we were exists no more.
We need not fear
For we are not alone.
We appreciate more deeply
The slight reduction of a head ache.
Our heart leaps with joy
To go for a ride in the car.
Tears well up inside
At the random acts of kindness.
The intensity will vary
New symptoms will appear.
We are stronger
Than we give ourselves credit.
It is present
It is on the fringe…
New symptoms
Rear their head…
Isolated and alone
We pray to our Heavenly Father…
Our body
Becomes a prison…
Trembling and tingling
Unsteadiness abound…
At that time
Fear grows…
Reading scripture
Quiet whispered prayers…
Looking out the window
The distraction of falling leaves…
For a moment
The world is still…
Then thoughts swirl
Eyes cannot focus…
There is a quiet calm
Fear has receded…
The symptoms still strong
Courage now a soft blanket…
