2 to go

I've been 'given' another day

To lie in peace under the x-ray

Apparently I've put on some weight

Must be all those cakes I've ate.

The oncologist explained the dose,

It's that extra layer of fat I suppose,

The beam loses strength as it passes through,

So an extra dose is due.

And then I have to wait patiently

To see what the radiation has done to me.

Killed the cancer stone dead?

Or will it be back to haunt me instead?

So it's down to me now: to live at my pace

And love my love with all my passion and grace.
