As we approach
Monday, the day preceding
My out patient surgery
My mind imagines
My tumor being
Exposed and removed
Let’s hope this surgery
Goes as planned, suggesting
Nothing of an unexpected nature
To be found at hand, being that
No one really knows what
May be lurking inside until
That which can be seen with
The naked eye has been
Clearly exposed with
Pathology to follow
And at this point in time
It seems highly appropriate to
Send the word ‘enjoy’ on sabbatical
In favor of ‘appreciating’
Each day until
I can say that
My surgery went well
And on that
Hopeful note
I’ll end for today by
Expressing
My heartfelt gratitude
To every serviceman and woman
Who made the ultimate sacrifice
So that we, who have
The good fortune of
Living in the land of the free
Can continue to respect and uphold
The rights of every
Man, woman and child who calls
The USA, home sweet home
(And thus, whenever it comes time
To vote, let’s keep
Our Democratic principles
Uppermost in our minds)
🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸Annie
