Yes

 Jesus,

Thank you

For loving me

Enough

To die

A death

I still

Can’t understand

Thank you

For showing up

You show up

In private

You show me

In the secret stillness

That you 

Hold me up

When my body fails

And my soul lacks

Even when

I don’t think

I have more

To write

You say 

Get to work

As long

As you live

You will type

Because when

You share

You live

You shine

The glimmer

The shimmer

Appear 

You will not

Let me fall

Into depression

The constant battle

I have 

To be content

In the body

You’ve given me


As soon as you learn you are disabled, you learn you will need help. Mental health help. It’s not an option. It’s a necessity. As much as water, I need help and medication. I won’t apologize for it. Get help if you need it.

  1. Dearest Regine,
    Indeed, we NEVER walk alone throughout our life!
    Provided we have real Faith and that also let's us know—no matter what—no matter how—we will live on as our souls never die.
    It is a Promise and we have to really Believe and that keeps us going!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  5. You live, you shine, you glimmer, your words are beautiful, and how you begin your poem "Jesus thank you for loving me."
