Liquid Poetry: My Andréa
I behold the magical, here to see The beacon to my existence arrived A gift unimaginable, elation washed over me A moment of joy so sublime The beginnings of life unfold To hold your hand, to guide, to teach A mission I cherish to the end of time A stable path you have paved Be resilient, be determined Defeat adversity, leave none ignored Here lies growth in strength and character For what you do is who you are Need a pillar to lean on, I will be there A voice to resonate by, within earshot away Have no hesitancy, no worries Nothing can be lost to the wind Thinking of you, great pride reigns Stay kind, caring, true, always loving Forever be in the moment Through my eyes, it is the fabric of your being From the heart, a father reflects The cutest baby girl you came into A shining star you have become A wonderful woman you will always be
Momentous
Born in Saigon, Vietnam, I arrived in America at seven years old as a war refugee in 1975. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, happily married with two grown children, and I reside in Colorado. A horrific injury in 2014 forever altered the course of my life, leaving me an incomplete quadriplegic. Yet even through this unexpected journey, I have learned that living fully in the present can remain fruitful, joyous, and deeply meaningful. To be human is to show kindness to one another. Let go of fear, prejudice, and desire, and awaken to each moment with gratitude for the profound gift of life. Turn to the people beside you and all around you, and project your inner being outward—be good to yourself and to others. We are all woven from the same fabric; may we surround one another with unconditional love, support, and warmth of heart. Our time on Earth is precious and deserves to be embraced with immense gratitude. Visit our PT practice at manualtherapyassociates.com
