You give me freedom,
You give me joy and power to walk.
When a step hurts, you support and comfort.
You are steadfast, always to the rescue.
Walker, Walker, you are ever humble,
Sturdy, strong and uncomplaining.
You go into mud. You navigate gravel.
Ka-plunk, ka-plunk, plop-plop,, schhhhh,schhhhhhh
You glide on the hardwood like a laser.
Walker, Walker, I won’t need you much longer.
Everyday, I exercises in my chair. building strength, flexibility.
Everyday I walk, squat, bend and extend that bum leg
You stay close, but out of the way.
You nurture my determination and independence.
