This Is What Is Left Shining
Physical pain can run deep, restricting life as it once was
Attacking the very things that make life what is should be
To be lived fully enjoyed
A trap it can be when there is little that is able to be done
Compared to usual
Those things that mean the most to someone, are limited
Suddenly life is turned into survival with worries that easily consume
Turning fears into what will be?
However, in all this, it is amazing how someone else’s gentle words
Can make a difference
Understanding and care for what is, no matter what the struggle may be
The simple plain understanding that life is not always smooth functioning
Inside a person is still the same person with heart and soul full of love
This is what matters most of all
This is what should count in a world that holds unreasonable expectations
In a place where sometimes the genuine giving love that counts is not priority
Bottom line is, when all else is stripped away, this is what is left shining
