July was tough for Mother. A series of mishaps landed her in Medilodge of Holland for rehabilitation. She’s determined to go home. Many people are intent on helping. To say thank you, we decided to write short, humorous poems to make everyone smile. We call them “snippets.”
Learning about electrolytes
Michael likes blue.
Dawn prefers cherry.
We haven’t found anyone
who really likes berry.
For a bottle of orange,
we traded a cherry.
But we have to admit
we’d rather have berry.
Like Rubin, my brother
enjoys a good rhyme.
Tom says that’s because
he drinks lemon-lime.
Experiencing Therapy
With her athletic prowess
Mother’s wowing the team,
as she learns to move safely
and builds up her steam.
She works hard in therapy
so we can go walking
to our favorite benches
and do lots of talking.
Celebrating healing
Cards of encouragement
adorn a wall in her room.
When she looks that direction
she’s a flower in bloom.
Family gathers each day
in the courtyard at 3:00,
sharing love and laughter
which we know are key.
Can you think of a “snippet”?
Please send it our way.
We all could use humor
To get through a rough day.
For the staff at Medilodge of Holland and family and friends
