Thoughts on the way home

I see the little man hobble down the stairs
and again it strikes
the question, "How long will I be so able?"

May I never take my health
or mobility for granted.

Living in the city among
people in each degree of life
reminds me daily
of the blessing it is to just walk.

I get confused a little when
the depth of stairs are inconsistent,
and I am prone to clumsiness.

But I love these legs, they
take me everywhere and walk
miles in everyday life.

Sometimes I feel that blessing
is a ticking clock.
