(This poem is inspired by a true story)
I was a disabled Vet
Doctors told me I'd never walk normally again
Chronic back and knee pain
Made me unable to work out like I used to
For fifteen years, I suffered in this living hell
I ate too much and gained a lot of weight
Then I discovered yoga
Many teachers turned me away
But one believed in me even though he did not
Know me - I fell many times
I just got back up and tried again
By persistance and perseverance, I gained back
My mobility and lost a hundred forty pounds
Best of all, I can now walk as well as run!
