A New Hip?
The other day...
I was going to work,
and passed a man in the walk.
The light was green,
and he was moving.
What I did not see,
until after he was...
half across,
is that he had only one leg.
I felt very humble.
His chair was like a racecar,
and nothing slowed him down.
It was incredible.
Today I woke up...
and stepped off a curb wrong,
my leg is all messed up.
Emotions hit me,
that God was teaching a lesson,
humility, kindness and appreciation.
I am thankful,
I can walk.
I am grateful,
I can see,
and be me.
I am appreciative,
of all things, he has blessed me with.
God give that other man,
exactly what he needs.
Obviously, nothing slows him down.
Angels must push,
and his heart must be strong.
God Bless him,
and prayers that I will always,
understand,
what it is to be given,
more or less,
and be hopeful,
that you, me, we...
will still dance,
one leg or two,
before God.
