David, my dear heart
patiently waited
as I pushed the
upright walker over
the threshold of our
cherished home
strolling into the
balmy evening with
stars dancing above us
I turn on my flashing
red light as we roll into
the sparkly Christmas
illumined streets of our
neighborhood
It's been a painful time
these past few months
with severe hip arthritis
and a looming
hip replacement operation
which I am oddly looking
forward to...
still despite the pain
my spirits remain elevated
and I'm grateful I can take
rolling walks under the moonlight
