Healing Process

A near-fatal accident shattered your health        

Left you paralyzed with multiple traumas             

The healing process will be long and grueling

There is no easy way to regain your health fast  


You have to tolerate pain and prostration

Overcome your fear and frustration

Tenderly care for your wound and woe                

In time they will diminish


The therapy though tough is necessary

To rekindle your ability to be independent

If you endure the suffering and tedium 

Long enough it will pay off 


Your lost limb functions may never recover  

But you can find ways to compensate  

Keep faith and persist in striving                         

Do not let disability defeat you
