Life is a distraction,
A leaf flutters by!
There’s so much to do,
Look, birds in the sky!
But work must be done.
A flower’s in bloom!
To put food on the table
We need to consume.
Life is for living
And support is required
To allow us to live
Before we’re expired.
Perhaps we are wrong
About so many things
We really could wait
To see what life brings.
Life is a distraction
That could bring us joy
It can also bring peace
We then could employ
Life past and present
An onion has many layers. So have I!

Living life with a chronic illness is definitely not easy. But I do my best to push through all the barriers this illness puts in front of me! In my heart and mind, I believe maintaining a positive outlook on all situations in life will carry us through to much better times! I hope you find the information that I provide both helpful and inspirational!

Beautiful, Pam. Life does seem to get in the way of a lot of living.

What a beautiful poem Pam, and your painting illustrates your words to a “T”. There are so many things in life that distract us….but maybe that’s what keeps us on our toes!
