The missing piece

You know you’ve had a gap A limp a lisp A deficit Before you know it It seems just by chance You brush up against A piece you did not expect It takes a while to realize Your walk is smoother Your speech is clearer Everything seems easier What is here now You’ve never had before Amazing to find You rolled right onto it … Read More The missing piece
