GRATITUDE.<br><br>
The worst of times has got to be<br />when first you find your ostomy.<br />You can no longer hide away<br />it’s on your side and there to stay.<br><br>
It shakes you to the very core<br />and makes you feel that you deplore<br />the very thing that helped you to<br />avoid the brink and then pull through.<br><br>
In those early days you’re stressed<br />and easily become depressed.<br />After your stoma comes along <br />you start to grow healthy and strong.<br><br>
If you proceed I feel you’ll find<br />this will recede within your mind.<br />Then you may start to understand<br />as you take part and play your hand.<br><br>
I found life’s game’s not done until<br />you’re underground and lying still.<br />Not much to be hateful for<br />but much you can be grateful for.<br><br>
With experience comes a kind <br />of recognizance in your mind.<br />From introspective attitude<br />onto respect and gratitude.<br><br>
I ponder problems that I had <br />and yonder trouble bad and sad.<br />I am now grateful to be free<br />from all that pain and misery.<br><br>
It’s not just all the things you’ve got<br />but must include the grot you’ve not.<br />I now conclude my attitude<br />tries to exude my gratitude.<br><br>
