THE CLUBHOUSE
His wife is precious to him,
Their love overflows the brim…
There was a time
Painful brought to mind,
When a CLUBHOUSE was available to them.
–
A crisis of her mind
Made her brain inclined…
To think at high speeds
That fostered deeds
To which he was resigned.
–
That crisis in early Fall
Brought to a point all…
In a hospital setting
No breath was she getting,
For nearly a minute in free fall.
–
Then she coughed and started to breathe,
Symptoms were gradually relieved…
When she came home
He felt so alone,
Just they two to help her achieve.
–
Referred to a CLUBHOUSE in another town,
Which got her feet back on the ground…
The community there
Helped each other to care,
A daycare for adults unbound.
–
They were of limited means,
But the couple found salve for needs…
In the CLUBHOUSE one would
Do whatever he could,
Even to opening cans for “beans”!
–
We all need some help now and then,
Like acceptance of limitation…
His wife “came back”
With many blessings to track,
And the CLUBHOUSE was there to befriend.
