Rooting For You: A Journey Of Healing And Grace

This is a poem I wrote after my recent experience before and after surgery. It offers a tender glimpse into the raw emotions, challenges, and triumphs I experienced as part of the healing journey. It captures the rollercoaster of physical pain, mental resilience, and the power of self-love and mindfulness. I wrote it as a reminder for those seeking solace and encouragement, to remember to give yourself grace and compassion after you've been through a traumatic time. I hope this poem also reminds you to honor your body's wisdom, celebrate small victories, and trust in the process of transformation. Allow this poem to be a beautiful reminder that healing is not just a physical act but a celebration of courage and self-care. Piano music by SilverHoof. Voice by Nicole Batiste

You wake up freezing cold,

Reaching out for someone's hands to hold.

Feeling like you're not on solid ground,

Still under meds,

So hard to look around.

Slowly you come to,

Now starts the healing journey for you.

The mental,

You question why you said yes,

Not wanting to deal with all this new distress.

The physical,

There's pain where they went in,

You wince,

Vowing never to let that happen again.

Meds help you sleep,

But crazy dreams constantly interrupt your peace.

You toss and turn to adjust as much as you can,

Yet pain makes it so hard to find a soft place to land.

After a few days,

Though,

Things start to settle down.

The pain calms as sleep is so much better now.

True healing finally starts,

And you slowly reconnect with your tender parts.

You choose to give yourself compassion and grace,

Allowing the wisdom of your body to show you the way.

You add meditations that remind you to smile,

Knowing in your heart this process is absolutely worth the while.

No more frustration,

Wishing you can do,

Choosing to trust,

Take it slow,

And celebrate you.

Your body is wise,

Give it love and care.

On the other side,

You'll have a beautiful story to share,

If you decide to.

Congratulations,

Beloved,

For your courage in taking care of you.

I'll be here sending love,

Light,

And healing energy too.

May each day get easier to be as you progress along your healing journey.

I'm rooting for you.
