Dreams And Ambitions!How can it be that a simple thing, Like moving to a new home so nice, Can make such a change in someone's life? And add wings to her feet in a thrice! I will try to define how I feel, And explain what it has done for me, How it's made my life so much better, The way it should have had to be! So herein my tale doth lie; A story of mixed emotions so strong, A new life, new start, new future, And a contentment that I did long! It started way back when I was a teenager, When my health started to change; And as it declined, I ignored it, For an inactive life seemed strange. I didn't know way back then; Those things would become so bad, That it would change the course of life, Of the life that I thought I would have. They say that things are not as they seem, And this for me, was oh, so true, So as my health deteriorated, I really didn't quite know what to do. I was moving into adulthood, And my life should have been all that and more, I should have been able to enjoy it; But my health almost brought me to the floor. At age 19 things started to go wrong, And surgery was to occur, But never once did I ask the reason why, I never said it wasn't fair. When I got to just 21 years of age, I had surgery of a horrific kind, A brain tumour they told me it was, And confusion was all I could find. But after a few days of pondering, I decided that it would be fine! After all, I wasn't ready to die, Because I loved this life of mine! And so the operation went well, And I guess I did just great! For the reaper didn't come after me then, So death then; wasn't my fate! And so my life spiralled on, And my health spiralled right down deep, Suffice to say, things weren't ok, But I stood tall and my strength did keep! Surgery after surgery 18 in all! Another tumour because it returned, Once again I had to have it removed, But determination was what I had learnt! So on I plodded with my life, My life of unending strife, But I accepted my lot, for what else could I do? Waste my precious life? No way! My life to me is precious! And life is as fragile as could be, But I say; you can overcome it! Just hold onto the positive like me! So then, where is my tale taking you? I shall tell it as easy as I can, Because after all, I have to admit, I am as strong as I am… Because I believe life is mapped out! For all of us, oh yes I do! And I truly accept that mine is… Merely a test, a test so true! And so I acknowledge it as it is- It's simply my lot so I'll plod on in life, Fight the fight, stay true to me, And try to keep ahead of strife! Life is as easy as we make it, Or as harsh as we all allow! But isn't it a waste of that very life, If we are defeated now! So I decided many years ago, To fight the fight and stay true to me! And yes, it's helped me to overcome, The things that were meant to be! How many have one brain tumour, And lose that life precious and true? I know that I am so very blessed, Because I'm alive, and I had two! So the reason for this tale I tell, Is not for pity as it may seem… But more to tell you to never give in! And reach for your goal, your dream! My life is about dream and ambition, And to make that ambition come true! All I had to do; was keep tight that dream! And I did, it!!! And so can you!
