Stronger Than Pain
By Twinkle VanFleet
Her heads high, spirit flying,
Body Weak, Sometimes dying
Laughing out loud, striving for gain,
Never giving in, she’s stronger than pain.
Her voice carries, dissolving in echoes
Lifted by swirls of radiant speckles,
A showering existence
With gratitude and persistence
A heart filled mind evolves to soar
Chronic illness seemingly ever-more
Dark eyes dance, dark eyes rain
God gifted me this life,
I’m stronger than pain.
