Happenings at Hotel Dieu Shaver
By David Smith September 19, 2018
The Rehab Centre, the pain where it lies
Stretching and bending and keeping knees high
Love the flexibility, and mild pleasure that I’m in
A sign of advancement, to let muscle tone begin
That’s the excitement, laps along the hall
And lifting weights, the best therapy of all
Hotel Dieu Shaver, we stay for a time
The gym is amazing, like clockwork in rhyme
Porters give us a spin in wheelchairs, no less
And down to business, as instructors do their best
To relearn a skill; to walk and climb stairs
O what encouragement to do it with flair
Thanks be to Shaver, where rehab is grand
To challenge the body, and support all to stand
