Easter Sunday, 2017 -- Accident occurred February 7, 2017
He did not whine, did not complain
and never said, 'poor me',
but took his challenge by the horns
to conquer tragedy.
Near eighty, fell on icy steps
and ripped his knee apart;
with muscles torn and severe pain,
it surely broke my heart.
Post massive surgery he dealt
with wearing a stiff brace,
and sleeping always on his back
with restless nights to face.
Determination and foresight
gave him the strength and will
to bear the pain of therapy;
make it a full-time drill.
It takes a hero to withstand
sad times when life's on hold;
take on the task to walk again...
this mighty job enfold.
A hero in my heart and mind
my husband and best friend,
has met the challenge, won the fight;
a 'trooper' to the end.
