My
body aggravated, confused by physical tests,
But
pain lacks capacity to conquer my best.
Dear
pain, for you, is a New Years request.
Don’t
cloud my wits—attack, bother, or nag.
My
mind won’t accept what it is that you add.
Expect
the consequences when you are bad.
Mindful
of judgments you pose to my ear.
In
positivity a spirit is absent of fear,
Affirmations,
my armor, protect what is dear.
Don’t
threaten my spirit break me or make me weak,
I only
negotiate limits that bring me relief.
Pain
fraught with courage doesn’t end in defeat.
No
blind expectations; we are akin,
But
mind—spirit nurtures what resides from within.
So it is with resolve that
this New Year begins.
Wishing all my fellow spoonies, a year of days each filled
with gratitude and resolve.
