I’m grateful to be sick,
Though it’s not what I would pick.
When there’s nothing I can do,
I can really think things through.
How is it that I live?
Is there more that I can give?
Should I perhaps be more aware
Of my need for more self-care?
It seems my inflammation
Is a chance for meditation.
So while it’s not delightful,
It is certainly insightful.
And I’ll never disrepect
A solid chance to self-reflect.
