Reality

Cheryl Wirtley 
No time for tears.
No time to cry.

Reality has hit 
square in the eye.

Trembling. Shaking. Moving.
Always moving.

Restlessness settles in the bones.
Weariness rolls over the limbs.

A new awareness is revealed
imparting unwanted knowledge.
  
Bending forward,
falling beneath the heavy load.

Courage and strength are needed,
to continue the path you are on.

Reach deep inside your soul,
have faith that you can carry on.

    Cheryl,
    Can feel emotion in your writing, more than previous writings.

    Be strong. Be courageous. Keep fighting for who you want to be with the challenge you and so many others face!

    Great words of encouragement!
