Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Recalling

There's a tightness in my limbs
   A tension in my heart
There's a chill in my spinal cord
   Pain is tearing me apart

A cry wells up from deep within me
   Stifled at my lips
My knees give way when walking
   Curse my arthritic hips

Yet my head is clear
   The brain still hums
At least when I sit down

Let my parchment overflow 
   With joy, recalling
My bride's fresh white wedding gown
