Getting better

I've been so ill,

For quite a while,

It's really quite boring,

It's becoming a trial!

I've been sat on the sofa,

For day after day,

I need some strength,

To enjoy life my way.

But with the help of drugs,

And a touch of fresh air,

I'm starting to feel better,

Slowly getting there.

Today, I'm bored!

A new feeling to be sure!

The great outdoors,

Holds a certain allure!

Maybe a walk around the block,

Would be rather nice,

To build up my muscles,

That's my doctor's advice.

So on with my coat,

And out of the door!

It's just such a shame,

That the weather is poor!

My legs feel good,

Not wobbly and weak!

I'm going to get better,

More strength I do seek

Now I'm back home,

And the sofa looks good!

Maybe a little sit down,

Now I've walked and I've stood!

Tomorrow I'll be stronger,

Walk a bit more,

Further and further,

I'll walk from my door.

Then when some time has passed,

And my strength is all good,

I'll run, play and jump,

Like I knew that I would!
