The brief poem, below, signifies that I am on the wellness road, again. Staying well challenges each of us. Here's to good health and good writing!


For Granted


Our human bodies
have always been
taken for granted

Why do we wait
until a malfunction
interrupts living

Like other immature
practices we believe
we are invulnerable

Until a preventable
affliction stops us to
learn about repairs



F William Broome 2009

It is good to see you back at work, Sir Bill. Totally enjoyed the read.

On a side note, did you notice that one night this week there was a young woman who appeared on Jeopardy that is from your hometown. Sadly she did not win, but did well.

Cheers and good health,
Dan

sadly, what you say is all too true as we are not careful enough with our health

Bill, I was worried about you. I'm so happy that you're getting
well again. Your fine poem is an excellent reminder to all of us
not to take our health--or anything else we treasure--for granted.
Love you, my friend. -gene.

Problem with trying to fix what ain't broken is just that, till it happens we would just be burnin' away our money and then something totally different would break...just got to keep pluggin' along, good to hear you are on the mend...Ed & rufuz

Oh William!! I am so sorry - I had no idea of your unwellness :(( So glad to learn that you are on the road to recovery and have learned some vital rules of maintenance in the meantime. So much truth and wisdom contained in your verses yet, like parenthood, we haven't a clue usually about what we hear others tell us until it, too, happens to us personally. Be well and write on! Glad you're on the up... Love, Kate xx
