Currently A Leg Up
Ski school instructed with lip balm
exercised for fun and calm
no cane as of yet
later on in life I bet
motorcycling balance strong
therapy pain, going all wrong
I can, but I can't stand
crazy times to follow
life in temporary sorrow
live today for tomorrow
hiking youthful pleasure
campsite gregarious treasure
mobility mostly life
surgeon scalpel knife
inside casting pain
never the same, regain
friendships, lost forever
causing that perfect stormy weather
adamant from stress
simple walking, I will progress
