So you've been here ridden on your bed So alive and in pain just feeling dead With thoughts crawling in your head Wondering why It's you that's bled So much in this God forsaken earth Questioning every bit of your worth So you've been lying here 'cause your leg Present in its numbness is a mere peg You're probably pondering the feeling I have, wondering if It's as chilling If seeing a friend like you lay helpless Is touching as much or aches less Well, I cannot begin to know your pain But as a longtime friend and brother It hurts watching you lie here rather Than being with us out there roaming The streets,I pray you get better so that once again We can sweep the town in pride & go storming Our usual pubs as we always did at dusk I hope it really isn't too much to ask.
I've written this for James Eric, a friend whose leg as I have just discovered was operated but It's seemingly not getting any better . I hope all of you join me in praying for him for he and his Mama have had lots of challenges, can't imagine adding on this too to the plate.
