A quiet serene astounded within
Wakes the conscious memory
Stumbling out of control to begin
Analyzed hours lost in puzzled imagery
Gasping at hope to restore the spirit
A decision taken back in vague reality
After the pain comes incredible relief
Support framework healing the body
Beauty and pain the choice was mine
Perceiving corrective surgery
Embraced the esteemed mind
Inclination I felt to perused this mystery
The arch pain that once blurred my vision
Has gone leaving the pampered body
And I have gained confidence to go on
Living with new joy
After the pain departed from abated pride
Seeing the sunshine on my smile
Developing a sense of trust inside
Silent emotions reassured my style
After the pain and the will to know
There is rest from the lesser dark
Stepping in the light measured and slow
To the place where pain ends on the sidewalk
After the pain and advantages gain
By those sprawled on tormented shore
Grains of golden confidence will begin
To fall amidst the hungry roar

Wakes the conscious memory
Stumbling out of control to begin
Analyzed hours lost

After the pain, and after the sorrow
all that is left is yesterday's tomorrow.
Left in the present, left on your own,
