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.
MOVE! Challenges
MOVE! challenges, though difficult,
With guidance, I achieve.
It takes a strong commitment,
To, in myself, believe
For many years I've struggled,
But never understood,
The need for "Total Wellness,"
Was always for my good.
So I became contented,
Precarious, my time.
With discombobulated thoughts each day
And always out of rhyme.
Then the VA Doc suggested,
"MOVE!" was a better course.
To live my future joyfully,
It was my best resource.
So I listened and responded,
Have learned, a better way.
To find the courage to succeed
And put health on display.
So now with patience, I await.
Sweet "Annie's" nightly ring.
Then share with her those calories.
Which, success are sure to bring.
Committed to Succeed!
