ADJUSTMENT TO LIFE'S DIFFICULTIES
When just a young family man reaching his prime,
He was suddenly struck down without reason or rhyme.
Suffering severe heart pains and angina attacks,
Hurting, scared and not understanding the facts.
Doctors kept him immobile with prescribed "dope",
Using different medications to avoid a stroke.
For four long years, the time passed extremely slow,
Before even specialized doctors were in "the know",
Of arteriosclerosis, catheterization, and by
An operation to clear blocked arteries
Now he was able to hunt, fish and roam through the woods,
Much better but yet not well enough to work as he should.
So of necessity a house
Cleaning and cooking his freshly caught fish and game,
While his devoted wife, as a secretary, worked for pay.
He found it wasn't easy to stay home day after day.
Eventually he learned how to spend some quiet time.
Recording music, reading, even sewing to occupy his mind.
For twenty long years his pain and suffering we have shared,
The entire family grateful to God his life was spared.
Through the years he had so much to share: advice, knowledge,
Something for all
We have shared in his hobbies, often with tears and laughter,
Understanding one day there will be a pain
