Pain...It's always there...lurking just beneath the surface....
waiting for its chance to rule my body
Aches...they creep up and down my joints...doing all they can
do try and hold me down
Destruction... slowly all my cartilage is eaten up with disease...
no longer can it hold me up as I try to run or jump
Frustration...I find myself sick and tired of not being able to
do the things I want to do...my mind says I can do them yet my
body tells me NO
Tears...of sorrow flow down my face...a reflection of the pain I feel
Questions...fill my mind...will I let this pain control my life or will I reign over it
Hope...for a brighter future even amidst the pain
Happiness...thoughts of the good things that have come from this...
patience...understanding...compassion...
Time...to spend with family... for contemplation as to my purpose here on
earth...to be the me that God intended me to be
Pain...it's always there...But...no longer does it rule me!
