My Story

Each new person to cross my path

Becomes a part of my story.

My compassionate surgeon

Who explains the path is not straight.

The nurses who treat me professionally

But more important, mother me.

The voice from the phone-

My lifeline,

Who with a hug and a tear

Becomes a real person.

Smiling faces

With kind words

And encouragement.

These are some of the heroes

Who've become part of my story.
