Whole New Beginning Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Incessantly sending love throughout our lives, caring about someone special is very difficult when they're ill for a long time.
Waiting is unbearable, yet the one lying in bed is too sick to comprehend.
Mind boggling, patience wears extremely thin, how much thinner for the patient though.
Tired, weak, out of sorts, wanting to go home, hospital life being such a bore.
Plenty of time for thinking back and remembering, a mind becomes filled with thoughts racing back and forth.
Memories can be very trying, causing mental tiredness and a weary will to keep on going, getting through each new difficult day.
Yet, after going through it and all thinking is done, the fog of depression lifts and a new spirit of will is born.
Each day brings with it a sense of brightness, an airy lightness - actually, happiness sets in, bringing with it peace of mind again.
Getting over an illness can be a whole new beginning - a better life.
A life now truly one with God.
