Hope

The heat is on this summer

Warming my muscles and bones

Making the pain dim and fade

All possible to the move made

The movement is easier

Something I had hoped for

This makes life so much better

Much more to live for

The highs of 40 degrees in the past

Would have made me run away fast

Now the heat brings relief and ease

Making me sigh with peace

The pain makes me feel low

Dark winter cold compounds it

The sunshine here gives the blues a blow

Already lightening the mood a bit

Thus the cycle of pain and depression

Feels like finally broken

Fills me with hope and elation

Hope not to be shaken
