The Stroke
An idea was imprisoned in such a bind It bounced about within the precincts of the mind What did it mean I heard you say I didn’t know about it right away For it was not alone in there And had to survive a longish stare But what was missing in its story Was the truth in all its glory What will...

It wasn't a stroke
I thought this life could get no worse, But life's new chapter contains a verse, Brought together a certain way, A poem is born what will it say, Life's a story going on and on, Those tragic moments I thought were gone, Without pre warning there was no sign, Apart from this I was feeling fine, Of all the body it...

Thoughts pierced my brain
Thoughts pierced the whites of my brains, Tainted blood flowed out of my veins, One half of me then paralysed, My speech now completely disguised. Why was I stubborn with the drugs? My right arm now too weak for hugs. Beat fast, my heart under my cloak, Just too bad I now have a stroke. Recovery now cost fortunes, Drag I must my distortions, Since...

I’m laying here not knowing who I am Bleeding drains my soul Lost my way of who I am Drifting eyes looking up Crazy glazed Closing my mind Waving like a prom queen Falling from grace from my body I don’t know where I’m going Frantic eyes drifting in air Reaching out Grabbing hold Reaching out Grabbing hold Grabbing hold Free falling what life held Only...

The Extra-Mile Defined
My good friend, neighbor, had a stroke. I called my church group, friendly folk who vowed to help her; she was broke. Aid was planned, day by day. Our lives were changed as her A-team; to give support became our dream. Healed by God, her face on high beam, such joy is our mainstay. The extra mile has been defined. Simple matter - heart...

There were times in the past. I stood by your side I learned nothing ever last. No one there to confide. Spent day after day waiting for her to come back. Lost what I wanted to say Time went by My heart started turning black. No more tears left to cry Time didn't heal Sometime during the tears I cried I just...

Twelve Years With Stroke
For twelve years Edwin had fought stroke And its drugs made sure he was broke, Caring wife set to lift the yoke: Passionate pleas to move a folk, Rose mentioning his being 'Nice Bloke', Who could crack a rib-bursting joke... And to the call the world awoke: Female toad's response to male croak... Vocal wife to her spouse the coke, That would a refinancing...
