A Poem

There's a hole my sidewalk (A Poem)

Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost .... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter Two
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit ... but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter Five
I walk down another street.

I really like this, betteroff! I'll be glad when I can walk down a street with no holes one day?? It will be refreshing ;)

I'm so glad I'm walking down

I'm so glad I'm walking down the other street! I pray the same is true for all of you! nolongercontrolled

chapter 3

I'm only finishing chapter 3 and am so happy to be there & getting out of the hole as fast as I can.
