Almost Two and Ready for Bed
A Day To Celebrate
I went to the cancer doctor
I heard those great words
See you in a year
I have had some skin cancer that they cut off last year
Now if I use sunblock and wear a hat
It can help prevent it in the future
A big sigh of relief
Even though there are so many cancer patients who are still fighting
Their battle with the dreaded disease
I pray for them
Each day we don't know what can happen
Anyone can get cancer at anytime
So we all should be on the lookout for any changes in our bodies
For me, it was a dry patch on the back of my ear
My wife also had cancer
After not feeling her best
Her body was trying to tell her something
Her doctor ran tests and she had to undergo surgery
We both know what it is like to be worried
Where your future is in the doctor's hands
We are very blessed with a full recovery
It makes you rethink everything you have ever loved
See the world in a very different light
All your problems seem very small in comparison with what they could be
So tomorrow will come
We both will greet it
Each in our own special way
I try to find ways to share it with the world
My high's and my low's
Wherever my life will take me
You all know I love those high days
Where I can dance all day on my tippy toes
Talk about anything and everything that comes to mind
Then there are those days
I want to sweep under the rug
Wash them down the drain
And forget they ever came
For me, it is a lesson in fatality
Finding out what works and how to enjoy it more
What doesn't and do all I can
To make sure it doesn't happen ever again
Sharing each simple breath
With those people who make everything in the world
A little bit brighter
A little bit better
A little bit more awesome
That is as good as it gets
You all can take a big bow
Thank you for making me so happy and proud
To be alive
With a smile that is here to stay
