Brain Injury Awareness
Brains are keys,
Keys to life.
What happens if those keys are broken,
Or damaged?
What happens to that life?
The key controls every movement, every sound.
When our key breaks can we speak?
Can we move around?
Our Brains are keys,
And with these keys we live.
Can we put the keys that have been damaged,
That have been broken
Back together again?
We can hope, we can wish,
We can try, we can trust,
But no matter what we must be aware
And we must care.
Keys to life.
What happens if those keys are broken,
Or damaged?
What happens to that life?
The key controls every movement, every sound.
When our key breaks can we speak?
Can we move around?
Our Brains are keys,
And with these keys we live.
Can we put the keys that have been damaged,
That have been broken
Back together again?
We can hope, we can wish,
We can try, we can trust,
But no matter what we must be aware
And we must care.

I can relate to this, having had a stroke nearly 5 months ago and also because I was a behavior aide in a brain injury rehab facility 10 years ago. I was lucky, my stroke was not a mjor one and while I have lost some of my eyesight and have some weakness on the left side, it could have been so much worse. Having so much experience with brain injuries, I know how hard it can be for everyone involved. When growing up, one of my Uncle's had a serious stroke that left him paralyzed on one side. Many people are born with brain injuries, I had no idea that there were so many kinds and so many variables to contend with. jj
