It's Okay

To those and to myself
Who have sustained a brain injury
Learn and understand that it's okay
When we can't do everything we want
In a given day

When the brain energy has been drained
Go relax so that you can maintain
The ability to start again
When the brains' energy has been regained

When those brain injury headaches say
That is it for today
Don't dismay
Know that it's okay
For tomorrow
Gives another day

Learn to say to yourself "It's Okay"
For life is not measured only in accomplishments
But also in the ability of a being
Being able to realize the true meaning of living

Living is breathing
And sharing what you can
Enjoying the moment at hand

A smile with a child
A laugh with a spouse
A ride in a car
Or just relaxing in a house

Let us grasp hold to,
The wisdom to know when to rest
That at another time
We can give someone else our best

We who have sustained
A brain injury
We are learning to live again
As our brains mend

Note that
It's Okay
To learn new ways
In order to have better days

It's Okay
