Hey you guys! I"m really not a vengeful person. But, I think about Marge being in all of that pain, and I feel angry.

I think about her being in so much pain
If I lived close enough I'd make them pay
For all of the suffering she's going through
Since she fell in their resturant that day

It was from their own neglect that she fell
Then to go and neglect their responsibility
Showing how dishonest they really are
Those kind of people I don't care for you see

They should have to suffer the way she is having to
Then maybe they wouldn't be so quick to refuse
To pay a bill she wouldn't have had to pay
She wouldn't have to be dealing with their abuse

She would still be able to enjoy her stroll
Out in the garden with Bill by her side
And see all of the birds come sit in her yard
Listening to the birds sing in trees up so high

It does hurt to know she's hurting... I'd be glad to volunteer my help, but then I'd be begging her attorney for a job! LOL

This is a great write... from a true friend. *S*

OhSweetSue~
I so appreciate your thoughts and concerns~
I will LOVE it when I am able to again work our garden~

My fella's doing a great job of taking good care of me ... and cut me some beautiful roses this morning~

I am still in a great deal of pain and continuing treatments~
I'm gonna get better ... and you're right on target with the anger ... I didn't cause the pain and Cracker Barrel will have to deal with the consequences through an attorney ... sometimes the injured party has no choice but to seek redress through legal channels. That's what I'm having to do.

Thank you sweetie ... I'll get back on schedule as soon as I'm feeling better~
Thank you for thinking of me in loving poetic thoughts~

*LOL @ MySuthernGal~
My Attorney would be BLESSED to have you aboard !
Love you~

A great poem, Sue...
I too, feel that Marge has been very wronged and is therefore, very right in what she is doing.
Sometimes legal redress is the only way to make them see what they have really done and how much pain they have caused.
I hope you feel better soon, Marge...and I'm looking forward to a poem with a picture of you working in that garden.

~ healing hugs for Marge and big hugs for Sue for posting this poem.

Thanks to each of you for your replies~
SuzieQ ... you are soooooooooo 'right on' with reading the situation correctly~

Saw another doctor today ... and after consulting with me, he said, "You have every right to be angry, frustrated and even depressed at not being able to do what you are used to doing."  He said, "Do not surpress the frustration at not being able to control something that wasn't of your making."

Hmmmm, man oh man ... did he ever read me right.  I'm sooooooo politely correct that I deny just how much pain I'm suffering for fear of upsetting others ... sometimes we Mom's forget to take off that 'Super Woman' cape ... and let others do for us~
I'm learning .... I'm learning !

The doctor saw my tears when he asked me what was the one thing that I felt most frustrated about not being able to do since my accident ... the tears were immediate when I said that just Wednesday I visited with my precious granddaughter and couldn't even HOLD her for more than two minutes for fear of losing my grip on her.  That's the worse pain this lady can suffer~

Next was my frustration with not being able to WRITE and READ and REPLY for extended periods of time like I'd always done~

Friends ... I'm trying ... I'm trying.
Please be patient with me~
*HUGS*
