Devaney - Poem 9

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.

This is the closing image
Much Easier Said Than Done

Transitioning is difficult,
Though every day I try.
Because of "MOVE!", I will succeed,
On them I can rely.

With patience, they now guide me,
On them, I do depend.
The knowledge shared is most profound,
With solutions in the end.

Though failure is an option,
Of which I'm most aware.
MOVE!’s knowledge brings solutions,
Because they truly care.

Day by day and pound by pound,
At last I recognize.
True wellness is an option,
No longer I, disguise.

So every day I'm grateful,
And focused on success.
Guided by the wisdom shared,
As they my thoughts caress
