being thankful for what i have.. hope, love and a dream

all emotional pain   has subsided

no heart aches   no sighs   no tears  for loss

no jealousies 

or sense of betrayal

calmness noW and

contentment   with my lovely present

happiness is such

physical pain__ still throbbing, stinging

and at times a knife like jab

but my hope is that it too will fade and diminish  

as did my past heartaches

 

and will be replaced with normalcy

 mobility

and the freedom to FLY HIGH

Your poem reminds me of my own back-and-forth struggle to cope with constant all-over pain. Most of the time I am happy to be alive & I'm thankful to be surrounded by beautiful surroundings, even when I cannot get out & about as much as I wish I could. But then there are the bad days when we can only try to not complain too much. Your poem shows the realistic ups & downs of trying to be thankful (((HUGS))) Fondly Margie

You sound as though you have gained a lovely spiritual peace of mind Marilyn. I hope it won't be long before your physical health also improves in the same way. Bless you my friend for your beautiful poetry. All good wishes.
