Thank you - for the reward of another day

I see the lovely Autumn sun
shining through my window
pane,

I do not bolt from bed these
days, not since all the pain,

I lay there and I contemplate,
on what I'll do today,

I could not plan yesterday, for
I did not know today,

Tomorrow seems so far away,
so I'll concentrate on all that is
today,

A happy man I am, for this gift
of one more day,

I may not have tomorrow, so I
will enjoy today,

Thank you, for the reward of
another day

("if I knew yesterday, the pain
I felt today. I would have enjoyed
the previous day)

On 10/08/08 I was back in the hospital with chest pain.
When the Paramedics came to take me. I was laying in
my bed, I pointed to my desk to where my pad and pencil.
The Paramedic asked my wife,
Mame, is your husband a mute?
My wife smiled and politely said,
No, he's just an idiot.....
I love that woman, even in adversity she makes me laugh!!
