Thank you for writing this poem. I am a caregiver for those that are in capable of walking on their own. This really touched my heart and I will be inspired to write more on the subject have a great day

Jim,
I love this poem. I was once in a wheel chair; now I walk with a walker.
My true therapy right now is the inspiration I get on Fanstory
I found a person can run fast, using one's imagination.
Excellent poem.
Have a wonderful day, Jim.
Best wishes,
Cindy

You have a lovely attitude, appreciating your life rather than focusing on the negative aspects of it.

I also love that you're not dwelling on the old memories you can no longer live up to, but focusing on the new memories you hope to create.

Your positive approach to life shines through your poetry and makes it very enjoyable to read.

Although I read very little poetry, other than the few of you I read regularly, it's always a pleasure to see what you will come up with next. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you.. I have been trying to vary what I write, but recently have tried a bit more poetry due to many commitments involving my time. I do prefer short stories, which seem to take longer to write.

    I like your poetry, but as you know, I really enjoy your short stories. :-)

gypsy blue rose would be proud!!

the first was short and to-the-point
the second expanded on the emotion within
good imagery and smooth flow through both

Therapy is NEVER any fun but I'm glad you do it for yourself because being in a chair doesn't mean you stop living and to do that you need to stay as strong as possible. New memories will replace the old because it's not the chair that people are drawn to, it's the man sitting in it.

    Thank you so much! The most trying thing for me is that I may just begin to write something and in the middle get a knock saying it's time for therapy. Maybe that's why I seem disjointed at times.

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Often our memories to remind of different times. Yes, God woke us up today. That's always a great thing. I enjoyed reading.

"God continues to bless..." And we all thank HIM for that.
"Gogyohka" Is that Yiddish? Aramaic? Hebrew?
"thanking God
for my life" A very good thing to do.
"my days of running and laughing" May they come again.
Is this biographical?

    I learned the form from Shelley Kaye. Believe it is Japanese.

This is a very interesting format and I enjoyed listening to it very much. It flows very well and it is read aloud and your presentation is very well done. May you have a blessed day and may God bless you with good things. Patricia.
