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!'s Diversity
Now "MOVE!" has many elements
To which I must commit.
Becoming lean and powerful.
Means efforts, to get fit
Setting goals and working hard,
With Andra as my guide.
I quickly gain the confidence,
To secret dreams confide.
Two days a week, in New Orleans,
The Gym now leads the way.
Solutions found, through efforts made,
And working hard each day.
The shoulders, arms, then legs and abs
With reps at twelve times three.
Adhering to this program,
Helps make a stronger me.
Each challenge met with confidence,
Patience and respect.
Because of "MOVE!", I'm growing strong,
Good health, I don't neglect.
And all about, are smiling friends,
With goals, just like my own.
To be someone of consequence.
Is never done alone.
Just Because "MOVE!" Cares!
I'm Truly Grateful
