six months
scope
six months
scope
like a revolving door you can’t leave
like a ferris wheel that won’t stop
six months
scope
six months
scope
You measure life six months at a time
You live six months at a time
six months
scope
six months
scope
This was a good scope
This was a clear scope
now we go six months…..

Cancer,
You caught me sleeping once.
You caught me not mindful.
You caught me unaware
You caught me unprepared

Cancer,
You have done me a great service
While others curse you
I thank you
While others hate you
I know you as a friend

Cancer,
I accept your challenge
To live today…
Not for tomorrow
Nor because of yesterday

Cancer,
I accept your challenge
To live today…
Not in regret
Nor in anticipation

Cancer,
I accept your challenge
To live today…
To savor
To rejoice

Cancer,
I accept your challenge
To live today…
Because today is the only today I will ever have.

Cancer,
you have come to me
given me a chance to live like I know I am dying. A chance to look round me and embrace my life
moment by precious moment

I thank you for opening my eyes.
