“Hello Wall”
Surgery done – yet now I lie in bed coming undone.
The morning I greet with an old country line
“Hello Wall” and I ask how much to turn back time.
Oh back to a time before -
back when youth and strength stood next to me on health’s golden shore.
Yet now I sing “Hello Wall” night, noon and day,
Amidst a disabling pain.
I look into the mirror which has lost its shine.
I close my eyes beneath a grimace of pain
And think of my youth once upon a time.
I hobble back to my bed
And I once again sing “Hello Wall” and cry.

I feel certain you'll soon reach a point where you'll feel fine again.
I hope you use this 'down-time' to write something special -
Something that rises from the depths of your soul -
Something that can only be heard in this stillness -
Something that needs your pen to help it let go. . .
When your up against a wall... and your mountains seem so tall.. and you realize life's not always fair.. You can run away and hide or let the old man decide or you can change your circumstances with a prayer. When everything falls apart.. Praise His Name..When you have a broken heart just raise your hand and say.. Greater is he than is within me and you will praise the hurt away....You can overcome by the blood of the Lamb.

God bless,
