Asked to tell my ten years ago self the most challenging, the most rewarding and the most fun thing they could look forward to I am reminded that ten years ago I had cleavage (and here we are!) but now I have far more fun!
The challenge, a tumour developing fast,
An acid predicament, surgery blast,
Though they nearly killed me, the panic has passed,
Quite surely a making of me…
The thing that rewards, my family still care,
I drive round the bend but they wait for me there,
Two daughters grown up on a whim and a prayer,
Quite surely a making of me…
The fun things is that people laugh at my rhyme,
This middle aged fairy has hit the sublime,
The words might be daft, but it’s victimless crime,
Quite surely a making of me…
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
