TO the Knee

Dearest Knee-

I know that you are ready to age faster than my entire body. But I am asking nicely.
Please stop.
Stop being so bloody difficult and maybe I will rub you more.
Actually no matter what I will rub you and ice you and love  you and tell you that everything is going to be alright,
But I do ask that in return you show some love and respect.
You see..as you know..I have a lot of energy.
That energy just needs to be put somewhere..and your the one that gets to take all heat.
Which is why you are the most important to me right now.
And I need you back.
I need you to heal...So I can make you stronger.
I know that you just want to chill.
And I have given you that.
But now it's time we make a deal.
I'll make you stronger..and show you more love.
If you just pull together and ease up on me.
Deal?
I would really appreciate it.

Sincerely, Yours...

Karyn
