I Don’t Remember

No longer

Do I remember

When the pain began

Or ended

If it did.

I lay, sit or stand

Hoping against hope

It will stop

But

Knowing that any relief

Is temporary

Don’t get me wrong

There are certainly

Distractions

That take my mind

On a ride

The wind, rain, sun

Grandchildren

Children

Wife

But oh how do I pray

That the grip of pain

Would release

Tears now

As I know

What the future holds

Sometimes still a wave of peace

Will seem to overflow me

Like a  brief cool wind in summer

Even so I know my lot

Is far better than many

And so for now

I read this chapter in my book of life

  1. Wonderful blog you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics discussed in this article?
    I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable
    people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

    Many thanks!

    • I’m sorry that I don’t. I mostly started this blog as therapy for myself. I found no real answers to my issues but at least in this forum I am able to express my feelings. Thank you for noticing my article.
