Saturday Morning Reflections

My back is in sharp pain
It’s driving me insane

Oh wait, I’m already crazy
My mental illness makes me lazy

I have spinal stenosis
It is atrocious

I pray for healing to come quick
I hate being sick

I can only walk or stand
For two minutes, it’s out of hand

I long to walk, jog, and run
Back problems are no fun

Someday Christ will heal me
And I’ll be so gay and free

Until then I must wait patiently
Jesus suffered much more intensely
