Head To Toe
by Joan SerratelliThe wind
is howling,
the rain
is falling
and as usual
I AM HURTING!
Everything hurts
frrom head to toe
I was hoping
today would be
better
but, it's not
I'm hurting
badly
from head to toe
I just head
that it will
stop raining
the winds
will die down
tomorrow
But for today
like everyday
I am hurting
from
head to toe
Life isn't fair,
but nobody said
it was
and I still hurt
from head to toe! 04/15/2009 Author's Note: The weather has been lousy for weeks- chilly, windy, rainy. It all affects my condition.

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 04/15/09 at 03:44 PM I love the weather, personally, but I can see why others don't. I think you did a wonderful job making it a very, very personal thing. |

| Posted by Maude Curtis on 04/15/09 at 08:33 PM Joan, I feel for you friend. It's hell being your own weather man. The 15 screws in my ankle lets me know I'm not a kid anymore. Hope you feel better soon. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 04/16/09 at 12:37 AM You've married that first stanza of weather and your physical pain very well, particularly that howling wind!! We're supposed to calm down and be warm and sunny Saturday. I hope you are too. |
