Poem to us from Chelsea....
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached do...1 Recommendation14 Comments -

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

A Ode to Arthritis
I’m not disposed to hysterical bursts or emotional crying,
but since I’ve had this damned disease, to deny it would be lying.
Doctor sent me to a rheumy specialist, a master of his field,
“I think you have Rheumatoid Arthritis” he said, your future now is sealed.
I’ve had that many X-Rays, I’m amazed I‘m not glowing bright green,

As long as we have hope,
we have direction,
the energy to move,
and the map to move by.
We have a hundred alternatives,
a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.
Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
Hopeless, we are lost forever.
A Hong Kong Proverb
...Praying we can all find a thousand reasons to hope each and every morning we wake up.

A Borrowed Poem "A Strong Woman..."

A strong woman versus a woman of strength
A strong woman works out every day
to keep her body in shape
but a woman of strength looks deep inside
to keep her soul in shape
A strong woman isn't afraid
of anything
but a woman of strength shows courage
in the midst of her fear
A strong woman won't let anyone
get the best of her
but a woman of strength gives the best
of her to everyone
A strong woman ...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

"The Hole"
It is deep,
it is sharp,
it was a shattered
piece of my heart!
It's been there,
it's tore apart,
strewn about
right from the start.
Who knows why,
Oh! does it show?
Cuz it began
so long ago.
When it took
it's first blow,
that flung it about
to and fro.
It finally gave in,
the pressure built up,
the pain it did boil
and it did erupt!
It will move on,
will be patched up.
I know this now,

And I thought it was a positive message, so I wanted to share....
(((((((BIG GIGANTIC HUGS)))))))
Trouble arrives in measures,and we stack it up real high,
until we're convinced,we have no reason to try.
If you feel defeated, you're absolutely wrong,
for if you follow your dream, you could never lose for long.
