Poem Title:
Poem
(continued from PT 1) There's not much we can do right here in Charlotte but to pray. But we know of one that's working on experimental chemo today. To help our precious women who have this dread disease. It's in Bethesda, Maryland, where they say the healing water's flow! And it's close to Baltimore and not too far from a bay. You can get on a government program, if your doctor that you see, will write a letter explaining your condition and say, that you'd be willing and glad to help them with their experiments each day. The first time that you visit, you will only have to pay, for your trip and just getting there and then they'll make the way. The chemo they will give you several times a day. If you're lucky and you don't throw up, you may get to play. A card game or a board game just to pass the time away. And then a few days passes and you get better from chemo and you'll want to go, out to have some fun, because, after all you're still young and you want to delay, the inevidable process of taking the chemo the next day. She seems to be doing well and a couple years go by and those eyes of terror now seem to relay a peace in this body of clay. Then one day it happens, I come home and see that horror that I saw that day. One of the doctors had told us. That it would catch up with her somewhere along the way. Back to Bethesda we go. But chemo had run it's course and would forever help convey, That this the big, horrible "C" word, would take her Home some day. A few more days and visits were made back to the healing waters of Bethesda in May. Home to stay and then in October, a cool fall day! I'll see you soon my love and then we'll play on streets of gold! That look in your eyes of UTTER TERROR, TAKEN AWAY!
