Ever wish that you could have a pain free day? Or know that you could handle anything that came your way.

Not only is there my eyes but there's also my knee which I find out on friday if its injured...

The last few weeks have just flown by. Some really fast and some so boring I could die. But, no matter how bad it gets there's one thing that is always steadfast and thats my Faith and the confidence He has never forgotten me and that will always last.
Abandoned by some friends and some family members too, but, I know that He will always stay true. I never see Him but, I know...2 Recommendations1 Comment -
Well, its back to the drawing board, as if I didnt know but, am hoping this tiime it wont be so slow. My knee is as bad now as it was when it was injured in a car wreck a year ago. Sometimes it seems I get ahead only to take steps back and get farther behind in the end.
But, no matter what, I'm not giving up and I know I can beat this like I have everything else but, sometim...2 Recommendations3 Comments -
"The Last Resort"
She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to s...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
Here's the poem I was finally able to write for my dad.
With a stern voice
And a heart of gold
You were the best dad ever
Soft, yet bold.
Someone I could go to
In times of dispair
No matter whatever happened
You were always right there,
To show love & support
As high as the sky
Then remind me you're watching me
By pointing at your eye.
I'll never forget
The good times we had
At the track, or a...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

Rainbow Illusion
I find myself treading water in this ocean of rainbow illusion
Around me swirls colors of emotion, of pain, of activity, of right and wrong
The shades of grey, the shades of me, separate us
Somewhere buried deep inside of me exists colors, too
Hidden under layers of rejection and self denial
Occasionally I get hit in the face with a splash of color
I can feel it trying to find its way u...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
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,
Not t...1 Recommendation7 Comments -
One wring of the wash cloth sends me to the moon
One day out in the garden and I'm banished to my room
To lie upon my cooshy bed in utter agony
Bring me the phone,
leave me alone!
Oh, honey, rub my knee!!
Two weeks later I'm at the store feeling really fine
Two seconds later, my hand heats up while I'm in the line
Oh shucks, not now as my toes chime in,
My thumbs attack,
My tendons cr...2 Recommendations5 Comments
