Under The Weather

Christina8

Had to go under the knife

Guess it's just part of life

My absence was in the hospital stay

I can tell you, I feel better today

 

Missing out on summer is the worst part

Not lazing down the river breaks my heart

Missing the sand and also the sun

Watching everyone else have all the fun

 

Somewhere I have found more meaning

In the everyday ups and downs

I'm seeing more of the positives

And I'm feeling less reasons to frown

 

Hopefully I'll be back soon gushing about my heart

Not back to 100% but this is a start

I thank you for your patience during these past days

My lack of poems isn't just a phase

    Nice to see your blooms on MPS again. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery to full health.
    I am going under the knife myself on 9th August,some fear and trepidation.

    • Christina8

      Oh, thank you so much dusk arising. You have nothing to worry about for surgery, remember you are in capable hands. (So says the nurse in me) If you are religious just make sure to say a prayer before you go in and I'll be thinking about you!

    • Heartwriter

          I will also be under the knife soon - nothing life threatening but a minor surgery - it will be my first hospital attendance ever after all of my 70 plus years - hope you recover fully soon and do enjoy your postings dear Christina.

          • Christina8

            Wow, when I was working as a nurse I would come across a patient of your years that swore it was their first hospitalization or surgery and I think that it just fantastic!!! Remember you are in good hands-----and ask questions----even if they seem dumb!! Hopefully I will be back to reviewing and posting poems regularly soon.

            • Michael Edwards

              Thanks Christina - having worked for the Health Service as a defence lawyer for many years be assured I'll ask the questions.

                  What a beautiful flow
                  Words straight from the soul
                  So pure and wonderful
                  As I hope for the rest of your days

                  Take extra care
                  Much love and respect
