Why am I the way I am?
People often ask this question.
I am always positive,
Positive about my life.
I greet every day with wonder,
And am so pleased to get up,
Get up into a new day.
I go to sleep after each day,
After each beautiful day
Knowing that there is another one,
Another one to come tomorrow.
Why am I like this?
It comes from one day,
One day years ago.
I was unwell,
And the Doctor said the words,
The words that changed my way,
Changed my way in life.
He said these words:
“If you do not have this operation,
You will die!”
After coming out of the anaesthetic
My life changed,
I had been given a second chance,
A second chance at life.
And from that day my life is good,
It is so good
As I am still here
And will enjoy every moment,
Every moment of my new life,
And have enjoyed every moment
Since awakening,
Awakening from that operation.
