Ode To Crutches

ODE TO CRUTCHES I had a knee replacement so I needed help I could not walk safely by myself So, I was given two sturdy crutches And once I got them in my clutches I walked here and there and everywhere With more confidence but a bit of care With physio my knee grew stronger Two crutches I needed no longer So, I progressed to just using one My recovery had begun I exercised at home and did physio at Westmead I was very keen to succeed To cut a very long story short I am very happy to report They helped me a lot but now that I’m stronger I do not need crutches any longer I have a long way to go It won’t be easy, that I know Thank you to all the people that help me every day With their support and encouragement I know I will be okay.
