TIS NINE MONTHS PAST MY LAST LUNG SURGERY

 Having begun physical therapy (following

My three year struggle to survive

Many months of chemo therapy that

Proved so harsh as to see me admitted to

The hospital on an emergency basis for

Blood transfusions, several times, as well as

Having survived three life-saving

Heart and lung surgeries, all within

One year’s time), hopefully

We’ll see my stamina increase so that

Rather than being a surviver

I can, once again, feel like a thriver

As has been true every time

Life has thrown a curve ball that—

Has hit me in the head at

A speed so jarring as to have

Temporarily knocked out

My lights, awaking me to

My need to keep my eye trained on

My heartfelt goal, which

Currently, sees me winning over

This series of cancerous setbacks so as

To go forth toward reclaiming

My good health—Once and for all

Today is my quarterly Chest CT scan

So with no time to waste

Let’s wish me well
