A few short weeks ago,

I rarely did anywhere go,

First I did walk with a walker,

And a friend to guide me along,

I could also barely do steps,

And as some know well, I was not much of a talker…

Then came the cane,

I could not go out in the snow,

But I could and did walk in the rain,

Now I have no desire to pick up that walking stick,

As I get around on my bike pretty darn quick…

Yes, I am up to riding my bike,

A Huffy that was barely used to this point,

I ride around the loop in the campground,

A mile full, if I make it all told,

Biking I find is better than taking even a short hike,

I find I enjoy to ride much better than even smoking a joint…
