Last year
In anticipation of this year
I was blissfully unaware
Last year
In anticipation of this year
I was blissfully unaware
Of the ominous changes lurking in the outskirts of my world.
Last year
In anticipation of this year
I was blissfully unaware
Of the malevolent tentacles silently strangling Mom.
This year
She celebrated 70 years
We were blissfully unaware
And together we made merry by candlelight with food and
laughs.
This year
I was looking forward to Easter
And was blissfully unaware
Thinking the disappointment of pneumonia was just that – not
more.
This year
In the blink of an eye it all changed
Unawareness became stunned shock
The PET scan revealed the Invader had overtaken her lung.
This year
Blissful unawareness was shattered
Struck and consumed by the evil
Invader known as Stage IV lung/liver/lymph node cancer NO!
NO!
Can the Year of Jubilee survive?
