Fourteenth of May

Today is the fourteenth of May So, what’s special about this day? Well, it marks exactly a year Since my bike accident – oh dear!

And still I have a subtle ache In my left arm where it did break And sometimes in my right hand thumb A funny feeling, a bit numb

I think these reminders are there To ensure I take extra care And that’s why I often recall What happened when I had my fall

I don’t want to live with regret Nor wishing always to forget But to take learning from the past To gain a wisdom that will last
