Doing Cartwheels 

Five years ago today

I was in the best shape of my life

Showing off

Doing cartwheels 

Totally unaware

In two weeks I get a scare

Back pain like never before

Brought to push me out the door

To wake me up to my reality

And force me to choose the truth

I’m grateful for the pain I’ve felt

It has taken me farther than I ever imagined possible
