But they could always be worse
Focus on blessings
Negativity reverse
Mind in gratitude immerse
Tanka Rhyme

The sun, moon, stars shine
Birds, bees, butterfies fly by
Many friends visit

One week ago
Lying in Emergency Room
Uncertainty abounds
Amid pain, fear, helplessness
Family surrounds
Hoping for a good report
Sharing our concerns
Worry covers every face
I ask God’s help at this time
Choka
Encouragement
Offered in many ways
My spirit renewed
Senryu
I know this shall pass
Life must continue on
Stronger day by day
Senryu
Home looks the same
Nothing has changed but me
Taking baby steps
Now recovery begins
I’m learning to walk again
Tanka
Time to head home
Leaving hospital today
This goodbye is easy
Everyone was very nice
But my home sounds good to me
Tanka
Accident
All of a sudden
No balance
No support
Then next, you meet the ground
Everything changes

A special May day
It is my Grandson’s 21
Off to the city
Having lots of fun
A little shopping
A good lunch when done
Nice ride home
Day was a good one
Relaxing in the yard
Chatting about life
Got up and fell hard
Sadly, day ends in strife
My hip is fractured
Pain cuts like a knife
Next day surgery
Hip now has three pins
Hope to recover
Yes, bad stuff happens
5 Syllable Rhyme
Yes, my hip and I met the ground. The ground remained unchanged. I and my hip will never be the same.
Hospital. Surgery. Rehab.
