Mr. Baskin

He's there, wheelchair Hair combed, skin sweet Like he's goin to church But came to see me And his woman, so dear Always so near I have moments I could fall Against this proud man But sturdy, trustworthy Instead my hand Kim Holmes, Nurse

Yes! I like this - from the wheechair standpoint - one gets both sides of the emotion though, and with a (projected) almost fatal sensation, that is, the piece is very thought provoking. Congrats on this little jewel. Love, daver
