I Feel Lucky
patients arrive behind canes
scoot around in walkers
some are being pushed in wheelchairs
they look old, ancient, elderly to me
I hear them give their birthdates and I am shocked
Many are younger than I am
This makes me grateful
I may have arthritis in both ankles
but I can still walk in without help
I feel lucky
