A Falling I Will Go

Cheezburger Image 2549623808
Gotta respect the cat
Take a fall, I will,
Up or down,
Stairs or flat path,
Fall, I will.

Some say it is a talent,
Some say it is a curse,
And I just say
Fall, I will.

Not a tumble, no.
Not a trip, no.
But a full on down you go,
Fall, I will.

You ask why I claim
That I will fall.
You may wonder
Why I will fall.

God only knows.
I wish it were not so.
But this I can tell you:
Fall, I will.


You Tube: stunt man shows how to be safe when falling

My children and grandchildren have commented about my falling (which has been near disastrous) many time. I shrug my shoulders and say the above.

Small Stones: The Fall

Steps in Stone



List

List in my head…

Keeps growing

More to get done

Before family returns.

Go down  stairs

Hurry!

Faster!

Last step…

Foot slips, twists

Hand, reach!

Bannister there

Right there!

Fingers refuse.

Floor rising,

Greeting me.

Ankle, palms first

Knee, then ribs.

Ceiling so far away

Carpet on my back.

Where
Is
My phone?

This is a tribute to my daughter Erin, who fell down her stairs on Mar. 11, had surgery on Mar. 22.  Sorry for the confusion!
