Pace yourself against this world
of death and pain, of rare disease;
savor all that comes your way,
save sadness for another day.
It’s in the choices that we make
between the darkness and the light,
inside the words we choose to share
layered with hope and not despair.
I’ll select the seeds I sow
tendered by tenacity;
it’s in the setbacks that we grow…
each step we take each day we seize
shines rife with possibilities
