One More Day

Once again the pain
Of life
Surged upon me
Just before the dawn
Of another Sunrise.

The pain woke with me
A part of life
A process of aging
Something I wish
Not to embrace
As part of my existence.

Oh, How my body
Craves its medication
That would promise
Normality
For at least
One More Day.

Hi I am Gabrielle
Grandpa's Granddaughter
I bet you started to cry when
you wrote this poem.

love Gabrielle

Hi I am Brianna grandpa's granddaughter
I think this poem was a sad poem
Because the way you wrote it almost made
me cry.

Love, Bri-Bri

Outstanding write I do hope
You feel better soon I have chronic pain
And nerve entrapment on my neck and shoulder
So I do know how you feel
Take care and take your medicine!
Love and Peace to you always
your friend...Morning Star

Been there, doing that.

You do good work, William.

my friend...you have this ability to take something so common and turn it into something better...this piece is remarkable in that it touches so many...its almost as if you were looking into your readers lives. I found myself nodding as I read this, cause it so well sums up my existance, especially of late.

I think you speak for all us aging beings, William - but life goes on - and we must enjoy what we can of it.

Growing older is certainly not for whimps or sissys, is it William. It can get to the point where pain is our daily proof that we are alive. When we are young, we refuse to believe that one day we will struggle with the difficulties of aging, but be it pain that tears at our heart from a lifetime of disappointments or physical pangs from our bodies struggling with arthritic changes, we learn that struggle is as much a part of life as joy. Nice work, William.
Take care,
Sherry

Pain is like a rash, if you tend to forget that its there it will come faster than a bug in a windshield.
Take two tablets and see me in a couple of days if it didn't help.
Pay my nurse in front and have a nice day!
Cheerfully
Georg
