Walking Through the Storm

Walking Through the Storm    by Sue k Green


Cold and blustery, with
windblown snow, I try to make my way;
but the paths I remember
have changed so in a day.

Deep drifts challenge my every step as
I make new footprints through the storm,
so tired and confused faced with this
new norm.

Behind I leave our shared dreams and
much that we have known,  walking this
path for two in directions now unknown.

I search for street signs and help along
this lonely trail but sometimes feel so 
overwhelmed with all this new detail. 

Love must speak for something and determination
pave the way taking ‘one day at a time’ we should
find our way.

I must believe the storm will end, the
sun will shine and our lives together can
withstand this new design.

 through the eyes and mind of a caregiver facing 
life ahead with post-stroke loved one
