Wonderful! Seems you found a solution to your walking dilemma. Those walkers really do come in handy. Now, you can carry on all the miles you want to walk. Poem depicts this so spot on.

My sister-in-law now needs a walker. They are a great invention. I'm glad you're making good use of yours and it's great that you've found such a handy bag to hold all your bits and pieces. Enjoy!

    Thanks for the lovely review. I won't be recommending the Wish site anymore where the bag came from as I signed up for notices and I got something from there not very nice so disappointed. Have you heard JoanE died?

    Did the bag some from Wish? I've only ever bought a couple of things from there. Yes, I had heard about Joan but I didn't really know her. I don't spend a lot of time on here lately. :)

Good for you to keep on moving. My younger brother is using a walker but he would rather sit behind the tube and be hypnotized by the mindless garbage on TV. Fresh air and God's beauty is the key.

It's hard to be able to see some good when we get older and are forced to find different aids for our life's needs to keep us going, but this poem is light-hearted and gives a positive look at needing a walker to keep oneself going.

I know how you feel about walking. I'm not as old, but I lost the use of my left leg when I was in the Marines after sustaining a bad injury. The strength of will and determination pushes us to not see the depressing attributes of what waylays us, but keeps us on the path we should follow in life. Great chapter!

    Thanks very much old mate. So pleased to see you dropping by! Maybe you got me over the line???

    I don't know about that. I think maybe we all inspire each other in some way. Us writers have something to say, and if we can help propel others forward, it's a benefit to society.

You go! Delightful story told in this whimsical verse--footnote merits its own informational post--many people would be pleased to know of this product!

    I got the bag from the Wish web site. I turned off notifications from them as I was not impressed with some things they were promoting. For that reason, I am glad I did not promote the web site. Thanks for coming by.

I use a walker too. It's gives a measure of freedom that would be missing without it. I love your bag as well. Not just functional but colorful as well, ( if that is your bag ) lol. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Hi new friend sure is mine. I could have got a less spectacular one from our Government under My Aged Care for free but I wanted this one so paid for it myself. I am noticing the walking is now so much better and more secure with "Wally" so named only yesterday when I wrote the poem.

A very well-written poem about the walker that is a great help to older people who need some assistance while walking. The bag is another helpful tool to keep small purchases safe.

Your enthusiasm is contagious! It is wonderful when some change enables us to get back to doing what we love--in this case, walking. Walking is the only exercise I really enjoy. Others, I must force myself to do. Your poem is well-written and conveys a meaningful message.

    Thanks very much Janice for your "enthusiastic" review. I love walking as I said and just glad "Wally" is making it possible to get back at it!

This poem, Wally and the Walker Bag, has a good meter and rhyme and sees the reinstitution of the daily constitution due to the introduction of the rolling bag construction. Neat.

    Thanks Bill for coming by. So glad to be back walking again. I am Type 2 Diabetic and I was on Metformin which we learned causes Kidney damage. The walking replaces the Metformin getting rid of bad Cholesterol amongst other benefits.
