This Too Shall Pass

I’m having muscle spasms in my hands Since last night that I can’t stand It causes me to have some pain And it’s not even due to rain The pill I took makes me sleep Sucks for writing poetry And I’m still on top of my bed I confess Watching for the My Favorite Teacher Contest I love the entries I’ve gotten so far Poets have the golden hearts I’m being taught myself right now To take it easy and lay it down So I will write when I wake It may suck or may be great But poetry is a great escape From reality of pain today

I suffer daily from muscle cramps and other pains, I understand how you must feel. Poetry has it's own release so keep on writing Karen.

I pray for better days ahead for you, and release from the pain. I look forward to reading your poetry. You write more than quite a few of us. Thanks for giving me inspiration.

Nothing worse than those spasms and cramps, Karen. Hope they're long gone by the time you read this!!!!
