Poems of Progress
David Devaney shares his reflections about his journey with the Southern Louisiana Veterans Health Care System’s MOVE! Program by writing poetry.
Achieve
Some days it's very difficult,
To all my goals achieve.
It's then that Annie beckons me,
To in myself believe.
Her influence, is positive.
When called, I do respond.
Renewing first, my confidence,
We share the strongest bond.
Then wellness, I revisit,
Commitment with respect,
Knowing with her guidance,
I will not me neglect.
It's then that fear’s frustrations,
And memories of my past.
Become the reasons I succeed,
For me, the dies been cast.
Then rising from the doldrums,
I focus on success.
Now confident, I'll find that me,
With wellness as my quest.
Today's Mantra
I am healthy.
I am strong.
I am guided toward healing and balance.
Against All Odds
