The Big C
My most recent visit to see!
Just like the big C on this tree
You can’t always see
what is happening inside.
~
I just want to go and hide
rather than check with the oncologist
that is my cancer specialist.
~
I see my tests a week before
that should be good for
a few months, right?
~
No such deal, my sight
isn’t always right! I want
to squeal, I want my aunt!
~
She was a nurse that worked
with old people, and never shirked
She knew the culture the best.
~
She was above all the rest!
And I want my mommy.
She is who I want to see.
~
It is so weird to be saying that
when 70, but that is where I am at!
Hubby won’t do right now.
~
He is always there to take a bow
to bring laughter and light, he
can keep clear until need be.
~
He was there for me before
He says, “Shut the door!”
I say it wasn’t bad, wasn’t long.
~
I’m not wrong.
I just don’t remember everything.
thanks to chemo brain, and another thing!
~
Or two, a respiratory code,
aging and menopause overload!
I will be just fine.
~
I can unwind.
when this appointment is over.
I will go out and sit in the clover.
~
Sing a song of praise
that all my kids are raised
Be thankful every day.
and for waking up today!

Prayers blessings and hugs that you are coping well and are ok. So many trials for one person to bear, yet you are doing it with dignity and thankfulness. May you be blessed and wrapped in loving kindness.
Sending love and hugs your way.
Amen 🙏🏽 Love this encouragement poem ❤️💗
When I read your title, I thought it was a place something like the Big Ben. Then when I read your subtitle, I was thought you went to visit that place. Only when I saw the word oncologist did I know how wrong I was 😅 So, everything is okay right?
