January 23, 2002

It was the middle

of the week.

A Wednesday to be exact

I played Hide and Seek

That was a fact

Our son turned one

five days before.

The day was full of fun.

and a time to explore.

He crawled more than walked,

and was unsteady on his feet.

He still wouldn't talk,

all he did was eat

I was unsteady too

with a bandage on my knee

I had just come home

from having surgery

I couldn't walk alone

and used a metal cane

With each step, I'd groan

and feel the immense pain

My day was going slow

but was still okay

What I wouldn't give

to relive that day
