Pain

By Heather Nichols

 Impatient is my mind
 as I look toward the cloud swept sky
 
 I want to dance and play
 but it pins me down, forcing me to stay
 
 Trying to move is slow
 how many more days of this follow?
 
 The lesson is surrender
 but not sure how long I can endure
 
 Too heavy my limbs to lift
 so quickly my mind it drifts
 
 For rest now my healing
 knowing someday I will be feeling
 
 Stronger.
