Get Well Poem

Hello dear one

I understand and hear

You're not feeling well

My sympathies I send

From the heart of a friend

Take time to rest and recover

I won't take long

I don't want to smother

Just a short note

To say I care

You lay long in bed now

Don't worry about your hair

Neither what you'll wear

Attend to your health

More important than wealth

Why spend one

To accumulate the other

Your health is irreplaceable

Undoubtedly foundational

To your personal well being

I care about how you're feeling

Both inwardly and physically

Emotionally and relationally

Life should be lived wholeheartedly

Enough of my personal philosophy

You rest and kick back now

Don't be concerned with why or how

Just cuddle up under the covers

Wrap yourself up in my love

Think nice thoughts and dream of

Pleasantries and dainty delights

Sunshine, sandy beaches, and moonlight

Waves crashing on the sea shore

Think of your problems no more

Allow yourself a little daydreaming

While you're ill and not feeling

Like going to work, dealing with stuff

Disgruntled people who handle you rough

Forget about them and all of that

Eat, drink, watch some tele, take a nap

Curl up and snooze with your cat

Turn off the phone, don't answer the door

Drink lots of fruit juice, eat a bit more

Send a family member to the store

To get all your goodies

Eat some chocolate covered strawberries

Lounge in your pajamas all day

Just sit, be still, and stay

Right where you are

Don't get in your car

Listen to some soothing music

Take a hot bubble bath

Watch a few movies and have a laugh

Soon you'll be well and this will pass.
