Book preview

Acute Stress Disorder

Caitlyn can’t forget

The horrible accident she saw.

So, she avoids the car because

It makes her feel so raw.

She can’t breathe when she remembers

And thus, she lives like an outlaw.

Before the accident, her feelings

Were not on a seesaw.

Though it may be hard,

Hold out your hand

And give Caitlyn a strength

From which she can draw.

Being kind

Is a part of God’s plan.

Love will help Caitlyn cope,

And give her beautiful

And never-ending hope.

Adjustment Disorder

Owen is so stressed

About losing his girl.

He finds it hard to cope

After losing her.

The pain whacks him in his chest

And causes him to break down.

He feels like he is in a test

He did not study for.

When he is pressed,

He becomes so sick,

Even though he knows that he is blessed.

Being kind to Owen

Will give his heart rest.

Love will help him

Through depression

And carry him safely through

These rough waters just

Like a life vest.

Alzheimer’s Disease

George’s memories

Are slipping away.

It gets worse and
