Member Poem

With little light seen, darkness sets in
My wife now has cancer. Where do I begin?
I find myself staring blankly at the walls
One mis-step and we both will fall

With each treatment, she gets very tired
I hold her tight, for fear she will expire.
I wake in morning to see if she is awake
On this, I do not exaggerate

Thank god she is still here
One more day awake, one less fear.

I sit with my dear wife each and everyday
We go on walks, not too much with little to no play.
I know she wants to get outside and play with her plants
Her love for nature is dedicated eloquence.

I hope and pray when this is all done
That I get my love back, she is my number one.
