Courage for the Day

by Cheryl Merrick

Praying for the faith and courage
to meet another day
of moments of dizziness and nauseousness,
of chest pains and tears,
of cramping muscles and headaches,
and constant health monitoring.


In never ending tiredness

another day runs into night.
Where, after only a few hours sleep,
I must endure seemingly interminable hours
lying  awake
waiting for the morning.

Reluctantly, I get out of bed

praying for
the courage to meet
another day.
