first day of the accident

Well it was St. Patrick's day
And there was a Public Health and Safety seminar
The irony of this is incredible
The auditorium is nicely decorated
dark and light
Presentations about safety and proper lifting
However the floor at the back is not as level
There is a ramp that is high but unnoticeable
Interesting but also dangerous
Work for ten years and do not take time off
Come to a seminar and get hurt
Go the the hospital and wait for two hours
x-rays questions, answers and hypothesis
all in a days work
Getting home with crutches is a new experience
However the day is done and it is time to rest
Filling out the forums, anticipating the proper procedures
Where do we go from here???
Honesty is the best policy
Uncertainty takes its toll
Supervisors and doctors have interesting theories
Life is an adventure but honesty should prevail
The union says everything will be fine
The checks will start coming like always
Who are you to believe?
The anxiety is overbearing
In God we trust
However seems to be lots of uncertainty
I wish everyone well in their journey of employment
This is supposed to last a lifetime
Honesty and sensitivity/ supervisors and co-workers
Games people play are not nice
However this is the end of day one
I am restless and awaiting the outcome
of day two and the honesty with fellow workers
To do the right thing always
and carry on and carry on
Blessings and Love
Positive thoughts, Peace and Tranquility

About this poem:
this is about the journey that takes place at work
when you are faced with an accident and uncertainty
where other people and forces come to play
the union, fellow workers and supervisors
all are part of the picture
sensitivity and trust, faith hope and charity
the journey continues
bills have to be paid
the mortgage payments etc
all part of responsability
with God's grace and positive thinking I go on
