Journey Through Cancer

© 23Oct2016
1. shivers

running up

then down

my spine
no warmth

coursing through

my body

This is fear in its finest

adrenaline coursing

enlivening
preparing it for action

It's going to be alright
maybe he'll be safe

wrapped in my waiting arms

 

Perhaps it's okay
She might even say
'no cancer today'

 

She didn’t

She said METASTATIC

 

2. chemo tricks

Today I sent my Christmas cards to those that I loveBut the one I couldn't send was to you up above.In your Christmas card what would I say?That I wish I could see you everyday.Would I wish you Happy Holidays just like the rest?To wish I could hold you would be in my jest.
