Not my usual "funny stuff"....just some rainy day thoughts.....
Painful joints
Achy limbs
On swollen knees
Singing hymns
Praying quietly
Take me now
If it’s not my time
I don’t see how
I’ll go on
Inside this haze
Endless nights
Foggy days
Who am I now
What is this place
Why am I here
Whose wrinkled face
Eyes lifted up
Hope in my heart
I’m ready to rest
I want a new start…..

I have days like this, what with fibromyalgia and middle-age taking over my mind and body. But the sun always shines again and the pain eases up some days huh? Good write.
Oooh, painful knees, yes I remember those! I still can't kneel down yet for communion - or anything else - but no pain now, lovely. I just hope this was not totally personal feelings you are expressing, you are far too young and full of life to be feeling that way!! Jackie <> <
i understand how you feel--live with pain 24/7. arthritis, degenerative disc disease, i suspect fibro...read my poems "P.A.I.N!" and "chronic pain: my life" to catch my take on it
I felt the pain of this write; I can understand how you feel. I have pain myself; live with it daily! Rain only makes it worse; and it's a rainy, raw, nasty day today. NOT good on my achy breaky joints!
