If I could
I'd spend the day
Lying in the sun
I'd hike the highest mountain
I'd do that five mile run

I'd book a class
At the work-out Spa
I'd love to "feel the burn"
I'd put on my cap..
Swim some laps
Oh how I do yearn

The "Natural High"
I remember well..
Inspired me to sweat
It cleansed my soul
Helped me feel whole
It can't be over yet..

I wrestle with the memories
I think "Remission" every day..
Hope motivates my thought-out plan..
To live another way




The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose...--Hada Bejar

Deb, I'll do that run for you,
And you can dry my sweat.
It's hope that motivates both of us,
We aren't done living yet.

We'll lay under full-moon's glow,
And pretend that it's the sun.
I'll hold you close beside me,
And like Isis, call you "Hon".

We'll laugh a lover's laugh or two,
When caught in summer's rain.
And if I could, you know I would,
Take away your pain.

Love ya, Kid.  Hardrock

Deb, what a lowely poem, so wistful, and so unfair that those things are taken from you. But you have so much more in your heart, and that is working perfectly.
Love you

Hi!
This is my second attempt to reply to this (computer crashed).
Although I don't do the things you mention here   you really demonstrate how we take the simple things for granted!
Thanks for that. And I hope you're OK!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!  This was created due to living with a chronic illness, just expressions of the losses. Thanks again!
