Wow Ryfkah,
This is great too! So much in so few words!
I'm not sure what "walkers" are... I'm guessing they're what we call Zimmer
Frames in the UK (a light alloy frame people use to shuffle along with).
And "Nancy Griffin" - even tho I don't know who she might be - makes it all
the more personal and touching: that a poem is a gift to an individual
person as well as to me (and others!).
I'll carry this image with me...
Bob
