I bet most do not know
A body could be in pain 24/7
And not just in one place
But from head to toe
The dosage of medication needed
To take the edge off this type of pain
Would put a person in a comatose state.
to endure and bear such pain
Is finding that you have strength,
Courage and a deep passion to survive
Strength that has to be
Dug up from way down deep inside
Courage of overcoming fear
Knowing what will be coming
In the amount of pain levels
The next day and the next...
Passion to fight for life
So that you can stay and be with
Family and friends
To know deep inside each of them
Are so worth the daily plight
Strength, courage and passion
Is what keeps me fighting
Day to day
For no matter what I must endure
Friends and family has and always will
Help me along my way.
“Smile to life and life will smile to you”, my mom used to say. I’m adding:
“We could be very happy if we would not think about tomorrow”. Let our destiny do its work as everything is in us.
We should try to be always happy and we should surround ourselves with joy. The future will always be different than we thought. Of course it is our duty to do our best in every circumstance, whether it is at home, at work, or elsewhere.
It is not always possible to maintain our soul at the same height. But everyone should try to be his or her own guide. When the day does not seem to be as we would have liked it to be we should allow ourselves to do something that makes us happy or to offer to someone else something that makes him or her feel good.
This may be just a smile or a nice word or gesture. We should not let sadness or the worries overcome us. It is not only others that we make happy but mainly we make ourselves happy. By acting so we open the sources of joy and happiness for us and for others.
