Inspire

A few years ago
2019 came by us
Not long after my birthday
I contracted "that" virus
My oxygen level was low
I did feel a little weak

I was able to get an appetite

But it was much harder to sleep
Having to sleep on my tummy
Is what the Dr said to me
It was difficult for me turning
Especially with that I.V.

I was in there for a whole week
Then finally went home again
Then I had to call this number
And order a machine and oxygen

I was finally able to return to work
Family and co-workers did rejoice

But the paper remained so blank
I just could not find my voice
I wasn't sure if it was writer's block

I wasn't sure why it never came to me
That's when I discovered Writer's Cafe

And started reading all of your poetry

Little by little I was finally writing

You've all open my eyes and made me see

It won't be long until you read my words

Thank you all so much for inspiring me.
