I make no apologies
For my commentaries
On life with a stoma
It's not lost on me
That an ostomy
Can bring fear
And anxiety
No matter how far
You are
On your journey
No matter
The possible outcome
There is hope
There is light
The human mind
Will fight
Eddie and me
We love to see
The birds and the bees
And the trees
We love to walk
By the sea
We close our eyes
And listen to all that is good
All that should
Bring peace
To an anxious mind
We embrace the peace
And all is well again
So if or when
You feel down
Take the time
To let nature heal the doubt
The fear
The pain
And learn to live again
