I want to walk down a gravel road Hear stones crunching under my feet On one side Daisies and Black Eyed Susan's On the other a field of swaying wheat I want to sit at an old picnic table Near a lake, in the woods, under trees That shouldn't be asking for too much There was a time when I did all of these I want to ride my bike, take a hike Dig my toes down in hot ocean sand Smell of nature in all the pasture land I want to rake up red and yellow leaves Alas, a finial plea amongst all of these Is to thank Jehovah one more time on bended knees Stead in a wheelchair I sit, on my porch, in the breeze Author Eileen Clark I am happy to inform all my followers on WordPress that my poem "Last Wishes" has been published on Spillwords Press. I would like to thank Dagmara K., and the Spillwords Press team for publishing this and other poems I have written.

Before my accident, except for riding a bike, I can do the other things in your poem. But now, when we go out, I need to be in a wheelchair because I can’t stand for more than 5 to 10 minutes long.
Hugs to you, my friend! π€π€π€
