I don't know how I missed this one, Debbie. It's lovely.
We do grow with the 'tortuous times'(nice alliteration) and learn to care. I know how much a smile or hello means now to the disabled who seem to be invisible to the public. It's not all about material possessions. It is what we feel about ourselves inside. Actually, some folks after facing years of disability are better adjusted, know themselves better, than people who are not disabled and still have all of their materialistic hang-ups and misconceptions of what really matters.

This is a fine presentation of rhyming couples and has a very important theme.

It's bright and uplifting visual presentation adds to its meaning.

This is a well written poem and it does a good job of describing your past. In reading it I could not help but think about my own personal past.

In doing so - one song quickly came to mind:

Debbie, this is wonderful! Love the colorful presentation too. I think we can all relate to what you say. When our lives change, so do our priorities. Comes with injury, sickness, or age. Too bad we have to suffer damage to find what is really important in life.

Oh Debbie, what a lovely poem, and what a lesson to be learned from it - isn't it funny how we take things for granted and how much we change when we are dealt trouble? We really do come out stronger when we survive it, I believe. Excellent poem!

I like how the how the whole poem has a ever smooth flow except the last line, which stands apart and farces the reader to think of what he just read. Great job!
