Night Time Prayer, Humorous

Now, I try to lay me down to sleep. On one foot? Hardly, is this a treat! I see my leg scars laughing at me, Like some drunken sailor lost at sea! How did this happen, I ask myself! Was I thinking of my dead husband, Ralph? There is no answer, for one leg Pangie! This balancing act, hardly poetic, I call, scroungy. 12/6/2021

Pangie my dear friend my heart goes out to you in your suffering. When I was a young girl boiling water spilled on my right leg and my leg was so badly burned it was paralyzed for a year. Passed grade 5 in the hospital. My teacher was so dedicated he came to the hospital after school every day and brought me my lessons. I had to learn to walk all over again. But you have it worse than I did. Keep the faith my friend and soldier on. You are in my prayers. God Bless, JB
