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
