Recovery

 

It’s amazing to watch!
The same known person -
Who used to walk, run, swim and bike freely -
Learns to walk again following baby steps!
As she recovers from the terrible accident
Which split her left tibia and fibula!

It wasn't easy -
Bringing her back from abroad with a straight leg,
Making sure the pain is always little less,
Maintaining job, commute, school and home - alone,
Making sure natural food had enough calcium,
Ensuring proper treatment,
Facilitating every meal and drink within reach,
Yet, never letting her morale down -
Always with a positive smile !

It’s really nice to see her walk again,
Sing and smile again,
Lessening all thoughtful worries –
Of true family and friends!
