Medical update #6 is ripe for printing
I’ve just been too busy to change names, which
I do to protect my relationships, knowing that
Many are not as open as I am to exposing
The darker side of our personalities for fear of
Being wrongly judged; however having been
Wrongly judged based on the brain is programmed to
Believe what works best to whitewash
Our own misperceptions, misbehaviors and
Word choices, which prove less than generous
I figure, what the heck, there’s nothing
To lose, perhaps more to gain from baring all of
Me to me as well as baring both sides of me to
You, too, because the more accepting we are about
Our own vulnerabilities and each other’s
The better equipt we each become at refocusing
Our sites so as to redirect our lives rather than
Hearing ourselves say, all too often—
Hey! Where’d I make a wrong turn?
As today is my birthday, one couple (our
Closest friends), Steven’s family and
My niece and nephew are coming over in
Celebration of life, love, learning and fun
All of which (with a bit of chemo thrown in)
Prove necessary to spark my spirit’s
Role in leading the next charge toward healing
My body, so, I’m about to close my eyes to
Rest, and upon awakening, I may feel ready
To post Health Update #6, which, please feel
Fairly cautioned, tends toward running on and on
And on and ...
