If I could tap into your energy
I would run and I’d frolic all day,
No more I’d be bound, like a stake in the ground
I would be happy and carefree and play.
Believe me it’s no fun, when you can’t breathe or run
And the oxygen is the lifeline each day,
You sure do learn fast, that each day is a test,
While you struggle as you work and no pay.
So believe me, if I had your energy
I could soar like a bird on the wing.
There’d be nothing more thrilling, nor be so fulfilling,
Than to perch on a branch, and just sing!

COPD is no fun. My father in law suffered from it.
Yet somehow you do sing Eric! Even with the limitations of COPD, your voice and your spirit comes through loud and clear. Your physical energy may be limited but your mind and ability to share your writing with us reflects the energy of your mind and heart. Thank you!
Motivating piece.
Sir:
I have been participating in a writing group as of late. One of the fellows in the group started me on a meme in which I need to tag additional prospective writers. I am tagging you and you may learn more about it here:

Obviously, it would be fun to have you participate, but I understand if you choose not to do so.
