One Dimensional
We must be careful that we don’t become
As one dimensional as our shadow
Life is an ever-changing thing
What we are today
May not be what we are tomorrow
We must learn how to adapt
To the ever changing tides of life
I have been questioning who I am
Because in the last five years
My life and who I am has changed many times
The devil attacks me on many levels
For he knows how to distort the truth
And turn my mind against myself
Thankfully my wife knows how to help me see
That even though my disabilities keep me from work
My own desire to help others
Keeps me busy throughout each and everyday
Many elderly people in my community
Have come to depend on me in many ways
I found out that I won’t be released to work till 09
If even then
For almost two years I have been a housewife
Battling diseases and injuries
Waiting and hoping to get back to work
Now I learn that may not happen without retraining
I don’t really even know what this poem is about
All I know is that the Lord is leading me to something
And the devil is trying to get me to throw it all away
I feel like a ping-pong ball
Getting slapped back and forth between the two
I know that I’ve became a good housewife
And never does anyone ask me for help
That I don’t do all I can to help them
The Lord blesses me for my efforts
As my wife comforts me
Whatever the Lord leads me to be
I will become
Because my wife has ask me to not be
As one dimensional as my shadow
You know I posted this poem (if you could
even call it that) and deleted it three times
in a row. I think I'm asking for prayer for
guidance. My wife thinks I'm right where I
need to be and I should just accept it and
keep doing what I'm doing and go back to
Collage full time. This sure isn't what I thought
recovery would be. God Bless you all.
