Dealing With Healing

When we’re dealing with healing,
It’s very revealing
To show how we’re feeling because

As time keeps on drifting
And cells may be shifting,
Our mood might be lifting its claws.

Acceptance and practice
To deal with what whacked us
Can help to distract us and pause

All the negative notions
(Of which there are oceans)
To hopeful emotions. Applause!

I absolutely love the rhymes you found here Ilene. All perfect and none seemingly contrived. Perfection, as all your rhymes are. Hope you’re healing well and rapidly. Terry

Dealing with healing can be distracting when too inundated with life's trivial details. They need to let go, release and embrace.

Ilene, well done! I LOVE the rhyming scheme in this uplifting little poem. And the optimistic overtone is exactly what we need in these less than utopian times. Write on, Terrell

Having a positive attitude about healing, or anything else, will always help the healing process... physical or otherwise. Good write, Ilene.
