I haven't written a poem since grade school. And even though it surrounds unhappy circumstances, I had fun writing it. Kyle was right.
I still need to work on a title. I'm open to suggestions.
There were three gals named Laye and Plait
Two daughters and a mother were they.
They exercised and watched what they ate
And were healthy in every way.
The youngest lived life without watching the clock
And looked forward to her high school ball.
A lump in her throat made her visit the doc
And that was the start of it all.
Diagnosis of thyroid cancer came as a shock
As no relative had it before.
She went through treatment strong like a rock
Not knowing there would be more.
Four years later on screening ultrasound
Mother Plait to her surprise and dismay.
Discovered that three nodules were found
Needing biopsy without delay.
Off to the hospital the ladies flew
This time to support their mother.
It was her turn and in her heart she knew
That she wouldn’t want it to be any other.
But misfortune again reared its ugly head
This time in the oldest child.
Mother was barely out of her sick bed
When another cancer diagnosis was filed.
Is there a lesson to be learned from this?
We hope that it soon will be clear.
But in the meantime give your loved ones a kiss
And hold them ever so near.
Great job Mom, I thought the poem was excellent. I promise it gets better. Under no other circumstance would I say it but... I hope you won't find anything else to add onto this poem in the future. Love - Kyle
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. Although, I am definitely not the daughter that exercises and eats healthy each day. ;)
I love you. This was awesome! Keep writing poems! Seriously! They really do help.
