Chronic Prayer –
May my body be a little more kinder today

And let me show the world that I try every way

To be all that I can. Inside and out.

And believe in myself. Despite all who doubt.

And no matter how hard or how long this road

I have carried myself and I have carried my load

With dignity, faith, hope and belief

And try never to let myself get lost in the grief

Of losing the body and path that I had

But I know it’s ok to mourn. It’s ok to be sad.

If those times should come may they pass quickly by

And I will remember to think kindly so tomorrow I can try

To start over again, because even if they are not here

My chronic family are out there and they are precious and dear.
