Migraine Awareness Month #25: “Carpe Diem, You Betcha!” (Alternate to: “Through My Children’s Eyes”)
“Tell us about a time when you truly seized the day”
I believe that Migraineurs and the chronically ill seize the day every day. Most of those days would have to be described as tributes to perseverance, effort, courage… guts. Some days, just existing feels like the battle of a lifetime; everything is…effort.
This is my tribute poem to the soldiers of chronic illness:
When the crest you’re riding
Seems to abate.
Observe: there’s the next one;
The chance – you cannot wait!
**********************************************************************
Each and every wave
An eternity seems;
It’s actually just a blink
Rushing by – your dreams.
***********************************************************************
Each moment that passes
Will not remain;
Your life, don’t squander –
Those memories you’ll retain.
***********************************************************************
It takes courage to process
These moments, so glaring.
Forever is waiting –
You, yourself – must be daring.
***********************************************************************
Live it, seize it –
The world, it is a dance.
Your goal… eternity;
Everything left, save chance.
