Ode to Cane

One day at the nursing home

Is when I knew

When I looked at the elderly

And how they moved

I want to be a cane

I want to be aluminum

I want be copper

Ready to help you walk

And I promise

Not to let you trip

Not to let you down

I’ll show you to run

Yes I’ll risk getting smashed

And chipped

Just let me be a cane

Making you happy

To move around more

Now you have me in front

Go on

I’m a life saver

Your friend

Your cane
