A STROKE IN THE GALAPAGOS

We were out for a meal,
On a sweaty night.
The meal was fine,
But we had quite a fright.

My hand stopped working,
and then my arm.
My face was contorted,
I’d suffered some serious harm

I fell on the floor,
and there I lie.
While I told my wife, in slurred words
I was afraid I might die.

I said remember me,
give each of my children my love,
as I prepared myself,
for heaven above.

Lady luck played her part,
This was not the end of my days.
But a shocking fright,
I was in quite a daze.

We flew on to Ecuador,
The very next day,
For some scans and treatment,
And to see what they might say.

I can’t believe, that this has happened to me,
I’m fit, don’t smoke, and want to be free
Of the worry that a stroke,
has brought to my family. (really sorry girls, so far away!)

With God willing, this thing,
will just pass away.
With the right drugs,
and care, ALIVE I will stay!
