| A SPECIAL POEM: My Twenty-ninth Year |
|
A year ago when I turned twenty-nine, All was good and life was fine. A lot has happened since that day, Some people don’t always know what to say. I have cancer and I lost my hair. I learned that even if you are good, life isn’t always fair. I’ve had surgery, x-rays and a million blood tests, And I have several scars upon my chest. I traveled around and saw some sights, The chemo makes it hard to stay up at night. I’ve moved around the county a little bit, And now we have a place where everything can fit. I met Travis one October night, I knew that things felt just right! I went to the ER for a fever and a rash, These co-pays and prescriptions are taking up my cash. I had a surprise birthday party two months early. I hear when my hair grows back it might be curly. I know that sometimes it helps to play the cancer card, Because dealing with everything can be really hard. I bought myself a new car at the end of May, I’ve always lived my life for each and every day. This year I finally finished losing the weight. Did you know Travis and I went to a wedding for our first date? I have hats coming in from everywhere, When it’s all over I’ll be happy to share. A year ago I thought I’d want to stay twenty-nine, But now I think thirty will be just fine. |
