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 Heidi Sands 1/15/17
