This Life is Different

Poem about living with Chronic illness

2 ft of snow out the front door

I can’t turn my head to the right

Pain radiates down my side

Some days are harder than others

Yet I push forward

Big goals to accomplish

This life is difficult

It’s different

It felt impossible at first

They say god gives the difficult battles

To his strongest soldiers

Maybe that’s true even if it makes no sense

They say there is a lesson in everything

That every experience teaches us something

What have I learned from this?

How to slow down..

How to appreciate..

How to be humble..

I’ve learned that you can make a million plans

and the universe will still pull that rug out

From underneath you.

The trick is..

to dance in the air, spin 180’

and land in a whole new place
