It was a different time
Not forgotten but also not spoken of
Flat on my back for many months
This bed fit me like a glove
Just laying, listening, watching
Seeing everything, seeing nothing
Wanting to walk, to run
Emotions to flee are crushing
They are to stand me up tomorrow
Will I stand; will I fall
No matter; just being on my feet
Would be the best of all
Degree by degree, they tilt the table
Slowly brings me closer to my destination
My heart beats with anticipation
While my legs shake from stagnation
Braced on one side by my sister
And the other by a nurse
My right foot slowly shuffles forward
While my left foot seems to reverse
For weeks, this shuffling slow gait
Was my means of walking
It was a long road back
And at times a bit daunting
But what started with this first step
Lead me back into the world
Of activity and normalcy
With the rest of my life to be unfurled

this was wonderfully inspirational and a delight to read. We never realize just how strong we are, until life forces us to be and we are left with no choice.
