Awaken in spirit
for even with this hell so fast upon you
your inner focus must be the ultimate force
(not your fear)
the world is full of strange shadowy tomorrows
that will matter little to you
other than on those particular days they appear
they come, they go
they scar, they rearrange
your views
as well as others' views of you
and all other problematic things
its scary inhabiting a body that is suddenly
plagued with uncertain sickness
but its faith, focus and love that keep the
spirit afloat
satisfied by its own self witness
when in despair
often recall these words to yourself
I am fine
my soul is undisturbed wine
this body a mere glass
often cracked, yes
imperfect always
but never shattered
for from these ashes now that are my pain
I will rise
better for simply having been
the MYSELF in every possible moment that
the Lord has given to me
as GOD wants me to be
and thus just so
So I Am.........
live always with the peace
that forever and on dwells within you
I hope you get well soon
and as always
I LOVE YOU...............
