Mind Over Matter, Maybe Not
When your bones ache, nerves are frayed
There are some tricks that can be played
Sit quietly in your nice warm chair
Close your eyes, take your mind back where…
You were running
With legs so strong
You were jumping
Could do no wrong
Climbing in trees
Singing a song
Skinning your knees
Playing all day long…
Your mind is now inspiring you
To realize what you can do!
The child in you says “Let’s go play”
OOPS! You fell down, now here you lay!
