Nature

?As I watch the butterflies dance, I'm bound by illness.
I'm lifted up by the songs of birds.
Look up during the day, look up at night
I'm awestruck at the sight.
Beams of sunlight penetrate the dark room like rays of hope.
One cannot live life looking through a window.
No illnesses of the mind and body will hold me captive forever.
It's God's promise.
I look forward to the days of peace and perfection.
I look forward to the day I will join in the song and dance.
At the present, I will wait.
