Broken Bodies


  

Broken bodies and broken souls

Needing someone to fill the holes

Left by illness and accidents

Only healed by physical therapist's

 

My life would forever be influenced

From all the stories of my patients

Their gratitude and changed perspective

My therapy changing their will to live

 

My dream job is to be a physical therapist

I would love being able to assist

People who are in so much pain

Showing them they have much to gain

 

My patients will come in dismayed

Feeling like they won't last another day

I'll find a way to lift them up

With every healing exercise and touch
