Poem
The caring bridge was very unexpected 
why I'd survived a horrific traumatic 
brain injury an yet my mind was desperate 
to learn everything all over I was so 
excited when I noticed my flaws while 
holding a fork at my favorite restaurant 
I forgot how to hold a fork I was so 
embarrassed finally I got it what an 

achievement I hoped no one saw 
as I lifted the mashed potatoes to 
enter my mouth to my surprise I 
kelp missing my mouth hitting my 
cheek my eyes were wide I knew 
everyone knows my flaw now my 
cheek covered in mash potatoes 
it was in that moment I knew I had 

to reach out find my peers people 
like me broken injured filled with 
faith and there it was a bridge 
connecting family of all ages 
races cultures traumatic brain 
injury groups many spoke of 
loved ones still in a coma hopeful 
that they would spring forward 

traumatic brain injury changes 
you forever I never thought I would 
forget to tie my shoe now my 
beautiful children whom I taught 
to tie thier shoes was now teaching 
me take the loop around ma you 
got it good job what color is this 
ma it was purple it hurt my brain 

I could only recognize yellow red 
blue green primary colors nothing 
as fancy as teal my favorite or 
maroon these colors sent my 
emotions soaring and it frightened 
me that's okay ma we can try again 
tomorrow brain injury affects the 
entire family I was so happy to be 

apart of the Caring Bridge family 
hearing others speak out about 
tragedy survivors faith courage 
relearning excepting fighting 
to keep my brain alive i wrote 
uncontrollably constantly at 
least ten poems a day maybe 
yes my grammer was off missed 

spelled words poems broken 
sentences i would cry I realized 
I was three years old pouting 
sobbing coping with pain when 
I reached out it was so amazing 
a bridge of compassion kindness 
finally that caring bridge connected 
across America a caring bridge 

of hands reaching out giving 
supporting sharing caring amazing 
generating lot's of hugs with simple
kind words completeness feeling safe
unafraid unashamed to be broken learing 
to smile again laugh at your flaws and 
get right back up embracing comfort 
and joy that built this unstoppable 
caring bridge connecting healing 
hearts and minds by just caring
