...not necessarily all that funny but hopefully an enjoyable read...


Poem Artwork


Okay so my hair is growing longer,
And I am still recovering from last winter’s hospital stay,
I still do feel quite a bit stronger,
But till I hear from the doctor and he gives me his okay,
No work for me unfortunately, nobody will of me pay…

I’d like to get back into a delivery job,
After the upcoming holidays,
As I don’t like to get mobbed,
And for the most part if I can use my own car,
I can dress as I please, just not like a slob…

This month is a year since I last was admitted,
To the hospital that became my winter home,
I cannot complain as they did take good care of me,
Only thing was that I couldn’t get out of bed,
And outside go for a short roam…

That's the spirit, Ed! So good to hear you sounding upbeat and positive again. Love the hair - keep it, it might be where your good energy is coming from and you may be the New Sampson! :) xx

I could see the change right after you started communicating again out of the hospital. With that kind of attitude change, the sky is the limit! There are number of jobs that you can do that will keep you physically active and engaged with people. It just a matter of time before the doctors give you the go ahead. Then all you have to do, is go ahead.
