Get Well Soon Poems and Verses
Hang In There
Small Prayer
When You're Not Here
When you are ill,
our sun goes under a cloud.
Your presence in our lives is such a bright joy
that everything seems in shadow
when you're not here.
When you aren't feeling well,
we feel the lack
of your glowing energy
and contagious vitality.
When you are sick
we feel incomplete,
like a jigsaw puzzle
with a missing piece;
Please rest,
take good care of yourself,
and feel better.
We miss you
and want you back.
Get well soon.
Joanna Fuchs
Everything looks so bleak
Everything looks so bleak when you are sick
And everything looks so pale
But I know that this is a temporary phase And you will surely sail
Through this time and tide my dear
So forget all your stress and worry
And forget all your very fear
Just rest and things will be all fine
You are always in my prayers
And I know you will be alright
Get well soon!
