For the many months
It has come and gone
It seems like a lifetime
That I have made it my own
The surgeries, the short recoveries
And there is my personal hell too
The many days, the many nights
There was never a rescue
There were short breaks
Before the significant reprise
The many tears that flowed
From my watery eyes
Sometimes different and many times the same
Front and back and in between too
Sometimes small and many times big
But then the time cameΒ it grew, it grew
Before the major one
Its significance overwhelmed
It took my strength
I became unhelmed
And the surgery to end it all
With more pain to follow
The pills, the pills
So much to swallow
Slowly the dispense as it takes its time
I want it a memory and not in theΒ present
But I am reminded each day
Today it is another event
What lies in the future
It is unknown at this time
As in the past and today
There seems to always be a climb
The pain is here today
For this one thing I know
As the days become weeks
The pain will come and go

I’m due to start my own painful cancer treatment on March 27th. We must endure and go through hell-on-earth to hopefully win the battle. My best wishes go with you on your journey.

Thinking of you – I hope writing this down helped with the pain a bit – even if it was just to have something to do and sort of take your mind off of it for a time.

Writing is a powerful weapon in the war against pain. So is time outside with nature and its myriad of colours and creatures. I can’t help take you out, but I can send you some virtual flowers πΊ π»π· We have lots of spring colour now which is definitely lifting the spirits: crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths, primulas and tulips. Today was a beautifully sunny day and it was great to breathe fresh air and listen to the birds. Big hug, Terry π€
