A stoma's not a stigma
Nor a sign of weakness
Sometimes an enigma
But needn't herald bleakness
The little pink blob
That sits on your tum
That now does the job
That was done by your bum
He's inoffensive, not rude
And deals with the pooh
He'll handle any food
But remember to chew, chew, chew!!
Always find a positive !!!!!
I love your inspirational poems, they give me so much strength and sometimes, they make me smile!

Weird the things
That emerge from yer belly
Just like the stuff
I've been watchin on the telly
The beast from "Stranger Things"
Has become a fixture
An extrusion of pooh
A soft, nutty mixture
I lie on my bed
Quite fascinated
Thinking "hmmmm"
A bum hole's overrated
As my diet dictates
The porridge consistency
It amazes me the level of persistency
Eddie and I share such moments as these
In a state of joy
That there's no more disease
18 months
Feeling strong
I belong
In this world without pain
Thank my lucky stars
I only bear scars
Of an op that brought sunshine
After rain
The cancer now gone
Surgically removed
By scans
Proved
Positive thoughts
That now there is none
They come at strange times and varying frequency but they help to keep me strong.
