Holy Cadoodle

Holy cadoodle, do I feel fine Bout as happy as I can be Just found out the lump on my back Was a benign type of cyst you see Worried as the biopsy was sent to the lab Fearing the worst as humans do Didn't sleep well for 3 or 4 weeks But happy my wishes came true So no need to hold my breath any longer I'm good for another while yet Till the next scary thing that comes along I'll be just as freaked out, I bet It's the way humans are or so it seems We tend to think the worst most times It's probably the way we protect ourselves So if the news is bad, we're primed Whatever's the case I can safely say Good news is sure great to hear When you're thinking maybe this is it And now you've got a few more years So holy cadoodle, it sure feels great To be told it isn't the end Live every moment as if it's your last 'Cause one day it will be, my friend! ©Jack Ellison 2012

So true, Jack. Often when conflict arises, we fear the worst. Just part of human nature I guess. Glad the scare turned into relief and a good reflective poem as well. A lot of your experiences are in your work, Jack. It's awesome getting to know you through your poetry. Quite amazing. <3 Always, Laura
