Recovery

Being chronically or severely ill and being well are like two different worlds. Any child/young person who has experienced long term or severe illness, will not, by their actions, harm their health deliberately, as many teenagers do with alcohol or/and drugs. Those who are ill simply long to be well to lead a normal life.

Recovery

 

 

She sits alone

The room is bare

No carpet, no curtains

Only one chair

The walls need painting

The cobwebs grow thick

Yet she can do nothing

The girl who is sick

No visitors, no smiles

No one else can see

The cloud of sadness

No one but me

 

The door is now open

And empty the room

The cobwebs are gone

Swept away with a broom

The girl who was sick

Has left that bleak space

The pain has eased

A smile comes to her face

What has happened?

She hears no one say

But she hopes she will never

Return to that day

A powerful poem, Audrey. Best wishes.

There are many angels in our society that treat the sick, lonely and dying but there are not enough to go around and some fend for themselves and recover to become the angels of the future. To think less is to lose hope.
