FEAR OF FALLING as I age
is my number one concern.
I've read of some solutions,
some things that I can learn.
Poor eyesight and poor hearing
oft causes me to trip.
A fall might quickly then occur.
I'd break a knee or hip.
I'd rather use a walker,
or a cane, or touch a wall.
I'm okay with getting older,
but I sure don't want to fall.
There's a biblical application:
I know I'm saved by grace.
But I'm more spiritually careful
not to fall in my heavenly race.
Written by Netagene, April 1, 2019 ... especially thinking of Bette Wolfgang, Steve's wife. She fell one night and broke her foot. A day later (?), she had fallen and broke her hip. (I think this is correct; I know she fell twice, a few days apart.)
About Me
- Netagene
- I am a member of the church of Christ. I have been writing things since I was little. Some have been printed, some posted. I write to teach or encourage; to blow off steam; and for fun! I had my own motorcycle in my 40s; I was a bluegrass music DJ for about 13 years; I've performed some. I am a member of the NRA. In 2003 (age 59), I became high partial legally blind; in 2005, I had to get hearing aids! Franklin Field said: "Poor eyes limit your sight; poor vision limits your deeds". And no kidding, the picture was made April, 2012!
