Mission Possible Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

The first 5 hours of the day, asleep.
Wake up, sometimes by alarm,
Sometimes by feel. I slide out of bed,
Get down on my knees and
Thank the Man who gave me life
Who helps me through life...
An Important part of my being here
is to influence others for good. That
Is more important than my own
Concerns. I'm not able physically to
Do that anymore. So my life is
Dedicated to lifting up others by word
And pen. Some with music, some
With poetry. The wife works...
when here I'm immediately at her call
When she needs help. I'm totally
Dedicated to her. She is more
Important than any other thing. The
Remaining time is given to helping her,
Running errands, things Inside the home.
The majority of my time
Sad to say, is getting well.
That's why she works. I just can't do it
anymore. I am getting better.
But it's a long road. Even that is
Hard for me. Just a step at a time.
If I can put a smile on someone's
face or lift them up in some way,
Then Mission Accomplished. Not too grave
not a Mission Impossible.
Peter Graves said "Hang in there!
Make it a Mission Possible! "
