Analysis of Epitaph of the Old Army Strong Physical Me
As a Child I was active running around
Having no boundaries to tie me down.
As a teenager I was physically active, skating, bike riding, frisbee flying, dancing, drawing and sewing, mischievous and free
Learning life's lessons that was taught to me.
As an adult things were great, I loved life challenges, So I joined the Army to have an adventure.
It help me to become a stronger me.
Then suddenly I was traumatized by an accident you see.
I was then physically, mentally impaired and in a fight to save my own life.
So because of God's Grace , my warrior spirit kicked in and gave me a stride.
Through the Holy Spirit I learned my heart carried the words I couldn't say
He knew my Love , and then the strength became a gift every day.
The fight was fought
And I'm very grateful that I kept a happy non blameful thought.
It helped me heal faster and gave me joy
Now I am walking impaired, and I do enjoy.
My New Me!!
