1.She is at long last here
I know it’s been a while there
But I, we want this because we care
There is longing, however no dare
To say words which will leave all bare
2.Staring into her eyes, memories unfold
Moments spent that seem beyond
Damn masculinity ;the tears I cannot withhold
Feelings running deep in me lie untold
Though not now but earlier I was bold
3.It came without any warning
In the midst of our family bonding
A savage with time that began devouring
My happy limitless became draining
Into a world that her health was failing
4.The epitome of this I have to say
Was amputation that sent her off bay
Loss of part of her a price pay
The Chemo we prayed would make her stay
Urgently we needed the thing out of our way
5.Toto and I have streamed in and out
Hospitals often accustomed to its lot
Our best we have tried to fight
Against the perils of disease caught
Against the implications burdened and even the cost
6.Not openly:in the dark in mere silence
Battled by this day and it’s very essence
I am terrified, dreaded at its presence
Awakened my thoughts build on her innocence
Helpless I am I cannot take vengeance
Yet still I hold on, I have to not for me but for Toto, for her(my happy). Our past lies vivid my happy she will and is she remains despite this cancer divulge. As she enters the operation room, I remind her I love her holding her pretty bald.. All that remains……. Hope
