Good morning little birdie,
How are you today.

Sorry but I am miserable,
But thankful for this day.

I always keep a smile,
Even when I'm in pain.

Many of you have no clue,
When it feels like you been hit by a train.

It’s really tough today,
I would be happy just to eat.

Other days I hurt so much,
I have to stay off my feet.

It often hurts to lay here,
Never getting to rest.

And it causes me anxiety,
That Weighs heavy upon my chest.

What was it we I was saying,
It causes me to forget.

Our there goes my tummy again,
It causes it to be upset.

Some days are better than others,
Always waiting to see.

Am I going to be able to face the world,
Or today will it just be me.

I know that I’m a soldier,
As I go to battle every day.

I’m very  Strong and BEAUTIFUL,
And always thankful for a new day.

Thankful for those who care,
Always checking how I am.

Just know today may be a tough one.
And I’m doing the best that I can.

Live
Love
Hope
