Hi Everyone,

With both my hip surgeries, I did, at times, feel extremely low. Residing on my own and coping with all the restrictions; it was tough. I love to write poetry and I have composed the following for all of you who may be feeling as I did.

YOU ARE.

iN THE DARKNESS YOU STAND FEELING HELPLESS AND WEAK.   THE CLOUDS TURN GREY.  YOUR SPIRITS' FALLS.  THE SHADOWS DARK AND GRIM.  TURN AWAY MY FRIENDS FROM THOSE DARK THOUGHTS TO SEEK THE PERSON WITHIN.   YOU ARE AN OYSTER IN WHICH CONTAINS A PRECIOUS PEARL.   A RAINBOW AGLOW WITH SPLENDIFEROUS LIGHTS.   A CLOUD DANCING IN THE SWEET REDOLENT BREEZE.   A NIGHT SKY ABALAZE WITH CORUSCATING STARS.   A NEW BUTTERFLY AWAITING TO SPREAD ITS WINGS.   ALL OF THESE THINGS YOU ARE MY FRIENDS.   YOU MY FRIENDS.   YOU ARE.

I have had to write it as one paragraph.

God Bless you all.

Love, Blessings and Hugs,

Maureen xxx

      I have always loved to write poetry and now that I am no longer working, I have more time.  I have many that I have written over the years and am thinking that just maybe, I could get a few published.

      Thank you again.

      Love Maureen xxx

    That's beautiful

    It seems to me hip hopping is not just about hips and pain and returning mobility, to deal with it we go through a lot of emotions.

      Thank you Sue.  People do not realise that it is not just the pain that we have to deal with but also the emotions.  I remember on one occasion, my daughter arrived. She could see that I was struggling. She said nothing, but just took me into her arms, where I sobbed and sobbed.

      I'm glad you enjoyed it.

      Love Maureen xx

      Thank you Candice.  I have always had the ability to write poetry and I did make a promise to my English Teacher that I would use my talent. Maybe, now that I am no longer working, this is the time.

      Love Maureen xx

    Wow that is lovely Morriewyn

    Very inspiring !

    Here's one back at ya ...

    When my spirits take a dip

    I remember it's this blessed hip,

    The pain can drive a man insane

    Thank ye god for my Zimmer frame !

    I sport a quite stupendous scar,

    That can be viewed from quite afar ,

    Plus a lilt to the left like a ghoul

    Tho my surgeon was no fool.

    But mustn't lapse into decorum

    Just praise the Lord for the Hippy forum !
