I wrote this poem some time ago

25 years  

On the 22 nd of February it's my birthday,

a cause for celebration I hear you say,

I would but for one little joke,

on this day 25 years ago I had a stroke .

I was quite lucky you see, they found me because I didn't go around for tea.

I wish you could be me for a day, and see what it's all about,

with good people around me , they have helped no doubt.

Having to re Learn everything, from washing,writing and speaking aswell,

I don't mind telling you, I went through hell.

I still can't speak properly and with a pen I can't write,

but don't worry about me,I'm doing alright.

I've had all the therapy some of it good,

but it just left me wondering just where I stood.

So, I joined a Stroke group I've been going for 2years maybe 3 ,

their total lack of judgment helped me find the real me.

No longer am I the woman in the wheelchair with the lop-sided face,

Instead they let me come to terms with stuff at my own pace.

25years gone in a flash,while I sat and waited to be "better ",

don't get me wrong, I was no go-getter,

always was quite quiet and shy you see,

without the good people all around me ,who knows where I be.e poem.its my way of saying thank you to all the people who have been there for me.

It's meant to stop others from sitting at home for years,the way I did.

So do with it what ever you want
