Download the article (pdf)[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The time it takes a bride to say I do
Or faster, like the shattering of glass
A blockage and in brain blood can’t get through
Which in the mind then opens a crevasse
Forget the palm–a person’s life is read
By watching what the friends and family do
Their love a sign this person’s in good stead
They’ll be there for the trials that ensue
Like crocus flowers rising through dead leaves
The brain repairs, which starts life on the mend
As does the rehab care that one receives
All bolstered by warm sunshine from a friend
It takes a village to restore a soul
The love we’ve shared returns to make us whole[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”author-about”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
