Why am I so positive
People ask me
As they do not understand,
It is the way I have become,
Become since that day,
That day sixteen years ago.
I had a serious problem,
A problem within my head.
There was a growth there
And it caused me such pain.
The medics found it and told me,
Told me it needed removing.
And that is when my life changed,
Changed for the better.
The surgeon looked at me
Looked at me and said,
“If you don’t have this operation
You will die!”
So I had the operation,
Lost four hours of my life,
Lost that time in anaesthetic
But I came round
And all was well.
So now I am positive,
Positive in life,
As I have been given a second chance,
Given a second chance at life.

- Comment from author about the poem: I had had a headache for about 13 years and the medics did not know what was causing it until that day when a young doctor said to her senior "I wonder if it is acromegaly. It was and it is a very rare disease as only four in a million suffer from it. From that day all went well and I am still here.

A fine write Gold. Yep, it's still you; you're still here!
I was very ill as a baby though I don't remember any of it. I shouldn't be here, in a way.
They say - it's OK you're here, but a pity you began to sing! lol.
Thank you Orchi, yes we are both still here.

Having gone through what you did I can see where your love of life comes from, deep within your soul. You are so fortunate in the medical treatment you received, but also in the revelation that came upon you.
