Scorpion Sting

I have felt
the scorpion
sting
of cancer
now
I understand
completely
the damage
of its band
I have seen
its poison run
through my
lovers veins
and have learned
unwillingly
of its fatality

when we glimpse inside, we find our true self. however hard it is, only we know whats eating us. good or bad, its for us to live.

I am sad, I hope you will be all fine. I am happy to know you and certainly to pray and think of you. :)

Hugs.

Your loss can only be exceeded by our sadness. A cousin of mine taken by brain cancer is a reminder that we are each given only so much of this wonderful experience. Each day is a blessing and each night a hope for another.
