Chemotherapy done

Chemo is done, now I have time

To reflect on what's gone

Of those sorry experiences

That challenged my being

Yet I must find myself

Even to pat my shiny bald head

Caress the rugged landscape

Where breasts were once rooted

From arm to arm, across the chest

Nervous palms softly caressed

My son his head gently rested

On plains once his comfort zone

Silently, the tears flowed

But not in melancholy

For there was only delight

That cancer cells were severed

Now today I have time

To be thankful for true rebirth

To savor the taste of life and laughter

To enjoy the beauty of nature

To love without restriction

To be free knowing He's with me

To be contented, my life's extended

To share hope, more than anything.
