Anita Harris Poet Free verse

I Can Return

I can return.

I can regain rationality.
Gradually I'll return to work,
Doing a little more ev'ry day.

I can regain my focus of mind,
Doing only one thing at a time,
Being patient that all will get done.

I can regain all my energy.
I will cook and improve my diet,
Gradually build good sleep habits,
Until I'm healthy and strong again.

I can regain stable emotions.
I will not brood in bleak seclusion,
Nor keep my yearnings pent up inside.

I can help and serve others again;
But, I must not disregard myself.
An empty jar has nothing to share.

I can return.

Used poetry to sum up the advice I've been given this month. It's been a rough time for me. Now, to follow the plan. Anita Harris August 13, 2017 at 2:11 PM Thank you, Heidi.
