I Left My Purse On the Chopper

It is day number twenty-one.
I've been awake for a week, I think.
The ride in the chopper was fun...
But my hair never slept a wink!

I love how the Universe speaks.
The tap on the shoulder, a whisper
From angels who know time has ceased
Asleep, til her prince just kissed her!

A tragic event - I might die
But i woke up and everyone smiled.
The husband and kids by my side,
The Universe bearing a child.

The Doctors and Nurses from God,
Who helped me get back on the hopper,
Discharged me with twenty prescriptions,
But I left my purse on the chopper!!

Karen, I don't know whether to laugh or say, "Oh, dear Lord, are you alright??" I guess, both. Is this a true story? Do tell. Loved this bit of imaginative writing if it's not true. Blessings, Donna G.
