My View of His Pain

by

American Princess


He walks and strolls and flirts
On this you can depend
He doesn't show the hurt
He knows the legs won't mend

He doesn't like the chair
He'd rather use the cane
Not that anyone would care
But it helps to keep him sane

It hurts to watch the struggle
Between his dignity and the pain
I wish I could help him somehow
And help the hurt to wane

All I can do is stand and watch
As he struggles with his plight
And maybe give some encouragement
As he continues with the fight

Such a heartfelt poem. Even though he is extremely independent (read as: stubborn   ) I'm sure that you are helping him, just by being so supportive. My best to you both.

very good poem, one of so much frustration . It is hard when your use to doing things on your own and then all the sudden having to depend on someone or something to get you there.
