Today I am in bed, my wheels in a corner, Bored and dusty. Sometimes it hurts inside and out. I wait for you. Sometimes I feel a little, Just a LITTLE, Sorry for myself. Soon they will try to fix a little bit. Perhaps my world will expand beyond this room and hospitals. Will you be there for me When I wake up? And talk to me and hold my hand? I do not need to walk, Walking is just secondary, Strange as it may sound. As long as you are here, And pain is less, There's nothing that I fear. Just to hear your voice Telling me I will be all good, All fine? I want my wheels with me inside Racing! With you running behind me Out of breath. Now wouldn't that be nice? *** Copyright © Darren White Originally written for a Goodreads prompt. October 31, 2016

Your words tug at the heartstrings and tear valves in this deeply emotion filled piece. Expressive of feelings of frustration, the wondering 'when it will improve', penned with poetic soul of the dreams you wish to fulfill. Very endearing ones too that made me smile. I join you in sending energy into the universe so ALL your dreams come true Darren and you will soon be 'racing' with the wind at your back, sun shining on your smiling face and 'he' laughing, trying to keep up with you:)xxx

Let him (Jason) try to keep up with me :) Yes, that frustration is sometimes annoying. But well, I can only try to practice patience, to improve. Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment, Lynn. Hugs.
