Momentarily

Momentarily By Franklin Price 8/13/2105 Momentarily I thought I feel sorry now for me Then in another moment asked How selfish can I be? I'm having quite an issue With some cancers of the skin Doctors scrape and cut on me On the outside not on in A little inconvenience Some bandages and pain A little scarring here and there But mostly whole again Haven't lost an arm or leg A colon or a lung Still can climb a ladder And move from rung to rung More fortunate than others In radiation therapy With chemo in addition I was there once so you see I'm grateful now for where I am That I'm not there again No cancer on the inside But lesser cancers of the skin Must take care of everything That bears the cancer name Never know which one could be The ending of the game Know that God is with me Through each and every bout By himself not cure everything Has doctors here for helping out
