The Operation © Tony Fallon
011918
When I was only thirty five
my system took a shock
I walked to the beach one day
little more than a block
Even though I wasn’t that old
you never know what’s in store
It took me twenty terrifying
days to come back to my door
I was playing soccer with my
sons and I fell like I was dead
Five day later with my family
around I awoke in a hospital bed
They said I had suffered an
aneurysm and they’d have to operate
So they took me by ambulance
to New York
The operation was very new at
the time and under strict analysis
One of the major side effects
was partial or total paralysis
For many, many hours I was in
the operating room in a trance
They asked me to wriggle my
toes later they all began to dance
They were feeding me tablets
one day a hundred and twenty eight
Meanwhile I was walking round
about and could not walk straight
This latest development was
to all the doctors quite shocking
They cut back on injections
and I was once more straight walking
I never will forget the day I
came home in the morning hours
Seeds I had sown weeks ago
welcomed me as full grown flowers
I consider my self so lucky
to have a life which I consider new
No matter how important we
are we are only passing through
