Everything In Life Happens For a Reason
Sometimes it’s been hard to understand what’s happened to me,
Why did it now occur when I was as happy as could be?
In the not so distant past I’ve endured trials and tribulations,
This was now a time in my life for lots of celebrations.
Did someone feel I needed to be taught another lesson in life?
Why when I’d already experienced so many stresses and strife?
To suddenly not be able to move or have control of my limbs,
Was confusing, so very scary and made me very grim.
I’d sat at my desk for a while trying to move my index finger,
No matter how hard I willed it to stir, there it just lingered.
It was very overwhelming I didn’t know how to possibly say,
That I couldn’t move anything after being fine earlier that day.
It now just over four weeks since this frightening thing occurred,
And there have been valuable lessons since that I have learned.
It’s not the done thing to take for granted everything we do,
We should cherish every little thing like tying laces on a shoe.
Our bodies are there to serve us and this we ought to know,
Give it time to relax and unwind and not always be on the go.
It’s been a hard thing at times to cope with and to have endured,
But I’ve been so unbelievably lucky of that I know for sure.
On this journey I have taken meeting incredible people on the way,
In my heart they will always be until the end of my days.
I believe that everything in life happens for a reason,
Like the changing of the tides and changing of the seasons.
