Healed Yield

26 June 2017

“You never want a drink until the well runs dry.”

You don’t miss something that’s always there.

Suddenly, one day it’s gone and there’s an outcry.

For me, symptoms came the same as wear and tear.

One, then another affliction came to my attention.

None, by itself, was important enough to mention.

After a road trip, my hearing was diminished.

One ear was partially, then fully blocked;

Making words and music on that side hushed.

It was hard to gauge my volume as I talked.

Also, a sore spot under my tongue

Made it hard to vocalize and chew.

My personal song of life went unsung.

I discussed with my doctor each issue.

My physician prescribed a medication

Because of the results of my lab test.

I took the drug for my edification

And it’s benefits quickly manifest.

Now my mouth’s better, so I can talk.

My hearing’s cleared up, so both ears function.

I move, so there’s no problem with my walk.

I’m grateful to be at a healthy junction.

There’s a feeling of well-being where I dwell.

It’s like there’s fresh water in my well.
