Recognizable
Health and wellness
is a balancing act between
doing the things
that make you happy,
and dependence,
isolation
To feel normal,
whole,
after a serious event
like stroke, or surgery
or something like a panic attack
takes courage over fear
and trust in your health care,
family, friends
Faith
Having to wait, to limit
or give up
what was taken for granted
needs to be replaced
with when and what now
Who’s still there for me?
Answered
A measure of improvement
into a new reality,
taking back
those used to be simple things,
driving, going for a walk,
not being too tired for
everything,
company,
gives a measure of hope
of confidence
that we’ll be okay
Recognizable
to ourselves
and in the mirror
of your eyes
both follows
and allows
acceptance
where we
move forward
feel better
smile
