Sweat, Pavement...
My lungs fill with beautiful, glorious air.
Cramps, Aches...
I push my body knowing I'm almost there.
Racing heart, Heaving chest...
I'm getting so close to rest...
Just One...More...Step.
Rushing, Smiling...
"Would you like some sorbet, Ma'am"?
Scoop, Drop...
There's a shopping cart traffic jam.
Running low, Crazy store...
No more spoons, have to get more.
Just One...More...Step.
Slow, Afraid...
I move as though about to break.
Pain, Grimace...
Have to try, it's just an ice pack in the freezer I have to take.
Fighting, crying out from the pain...
I spill some juice, it leaves a stain.
Just One...More...Step.
Raindrops, Disappointment...
My cheeks don't need more liquid sorrow.
Anger, Hurt...
Praying, praying for a better tomorrow
Take a deep breathe, hope for the best...
Trust that God will take care of the rest.
Just One...More...Step.
LOVE. favorite line = liquid sorrow. Love the emotions in this Maureen, it's so real! It had a great rhythm too. Honestly, loved it.
