GETTING THROUGH IT

When I try to stay quiet
I tend to drift off and sleep
I guess it is all right when
Your body is healing, but
I will be glad when I am
Healed.  Physical Therapy
Is necessary and I go to
Professionals twice a week
And rely on my own 
Integrity to do the ordered
Exercises on the other days
I do them inside so I cannot
Hear the music of nature:
Waves hitting the shore,
Wind blowing through trees 
And the songs of the birds
So I may start singing my own
Songs, not that I wrote, but
Songs I know.  I’ll see if that helps
Today the sun shines here
My spirit is lifted
I think of the soldiers and
Police, I pray a prayer of hope
For them and I hope they
Find (Because sometimes 
You have to look for
Beauty and goodness) and
If they find it I pray their
Spirit is lifted.  I pray that
God watches over them
And allows this war to end
I pray that the misery around
The globe turns into joy
Because leaders decided to
Do the right thing and free 
The people to live a lovely life
I pray for prisoners, slaves,
The starving and homeless
I pray for God’s chosen people
I am thankful for the miracles
Of each moment, day and night
