My Cane
by Al Beay
My cane is not my friend you see
Its job is just to steady me
It takes the first step when I walk
I concentrate try not to talk
I concentrate on how to walk
I’ll fall if I don’t pay attention
Concentrate don’t lose that thought
The consequences are too great
I’ll fall and pray that I won’t break
My cane is strong but I am weak
I’ll concentrate I’ll pay attention
I won’t fall down I’ll make my way
And who knows maybe there’ll be a day
When I can walk and throw away
The cane that haunts me every day.
