One day I woke up
on the wrong side of the bed.
When I tried to stand
I fell - like I was dead!
I was still alive,
but I could no longer "live".
Standing was more
than my body could give.
My world fell apart
I'll never be the same.
It's been a long road back
with lots of heartbreak and pain.
But I'm standing tall again
I took baby steps with pride.
I'm one of the lucky ones
with a good doctor at my side.
Most people have no idea!
Their ignorance is such bliss!
They are lucky without knowing
their autonomic systems exist!
But I have an education!
I learned the hard way!
I got lost on life's road
I took the long way!

I took a bumpy path.
It was dark, even by day
I'm not saying I'd take it again
But I did learn on the way.
It was lonely on my path.
I am still kinda sad.
I learned a lot about people
some good - some bad.
But I won't turn bitter!
I refuse to give in!
I'm fighting a battle
that I'm gonna win!
I can't do what I used to.
But I appreciate things more.
I refuse to give up
because health closed a door!
I have learned to pick my battles
I will keep fighting them too.
I am confident in myself
My health war isn't through!
Mostly I've learned that the sun shines
Even on a cloudy day!
And that I have to find the sunshine
Sometimes…ray by ray!
