Her Magic Room

No longer can she play 'midst waterfalls
    or dive into a clear blue lake
  Part of her forever stalled
    part arthritic ache

  Yet in her home a magic room
    wherein's dispelled the gloom
  Flick-o'-the-wrist a gentle rain
    to wash away the pain

A poignant write. We must change our pace but still find joy in what we can. Sometimes it is scratching an itch, balming the pain.

And sometimes it is scratching you-know-what ('cos I sure don't know). lol.

Or - perhaps - as we call it here in Chicago, home of Da Cubs, Da Sox, Da Bears, and Da Bulls ----- Da Shower!
