Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Trials Ahead

Lots of things I haven’t done
While I have been alive,
Yet there are trials ahead of me
Into which I must dive.

First and foremost, I must learn
To write with my left hand
And when you hear the reason
Maybe you will understand.

For up ‘til now, I never fell
And broke a bone I need.
Today I did and challenges
Await me, guaranteed.

Kim Merryman July 4, 2023 at 6:16 PM Oh, Ilene! That's awful! Praying for quick healing! I broke my wrist a few years back, but it was my left not my right, still had to learn to do things differently. Hope you're not in pain. Kim M Ilene Bauer July 7, 2023 at 11:32 AM Thanks, Kim! Not much pain - just a lot of frustration!
