May 2005...You Know…You know, I've just been sitting here thinking, About the bad things in my life, The pain, suffering and heartbreak, The tormented awful strife… I was thinking of the real close calls; When the reaper knocked on my door, Four times in total it was… Well, up till last year, 2004… Then in 2004 things went mad, And again, I nearly lost my life, Not just once, but twice more, Oh yes, I nearly went through that door! And then I got to thinking, you know, About what happened just last week! As once more the reaper called, For my body he wanted to keep! Now I know this sounds quite far fetched, Because this I tell you true, Had I not been in this body, I would have thought that too! But once again things went wrong, And I had septicaemia once again, And what happened after that, Well trust me, it wasn't a game! For they fought long and hard they told me, So that I wouldn't lose my life, Worked in frenzy, so they said, I really caused some strife! You see, I also had two brain tumours, And 17 operations that were so bad, Well, it should make me realise, I'm so lucky, To be here – and for that, I'm really glad! So many close calls, so many problems, Too much for one body to bear, But bear it - it does, how lucky is that! At the end of the day, I'm still here! Well, so I got to sit here thinking, All about the close calls I've had, And realised that no matter what, My life really isn't so bad! I practice what I preach you know, In that, if this body here can survive, With all the serious issues going on, It doesn't mean we'll die, cos I'm alive! So the morel of this tale so true, Is to get the message across, well, I'll try! That no matter the trials we bear and how bad… It doesn't mean we will die! The reaper will get us all one day, But what I'm trying to say to you, Is that if I can survive all that I have, Then you can survive it too! And though another operation is looming, That's what caused me to think today, That really, I'm so blessed, And now, well, there's nothing more to say… …Except, no matter how bad it is… It doesn't mean we can't overcome! Look to me, and know it to be so! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
