Just a Little Bit Free

 I feel that I need to get out
 to walk by the oak and pine trees
 breathe fresh air and. see young creatures
 climb pines and fences — roam all about

 I feel the need to have the sun
 warm my bones, my tendons my veins
 I want to hear people laugh and
 walk with their dogs out to the park 
 throw balls have picnics have fun  

 I want to say hello and talk
 For I know they have been polite
 watching me now for 2 years
 trips to doctors, to surgery with a cap
 and thin hair, with a  cane taking walks

 They ask me how I am 
 and I smile and say good
 now a year later they appear
 to believe me, a large breath escapes
 now its only every 4 months I go for an exam

 Still the doctors tell me to be careful
 to stay away from children with
 their sneezes and coughs
 A lonely prescription, but 
 I do have my dogs

 Another MRI and dyes injected
 another Congressman gone from
 the same disease, so sad but his was a 4 
 and I am a stage 3. still every
 blood lab is collected, every cell inspected

 This weekend we hope to see 
 a play under the pine trees
 I will get tired and my bones and spine
 will ache, my brain will need a quiet rest
 Cancer of the brain is not
 an easy thing to fight off, its tough, unkind
 though now it could be a year or possibly more
 the chemo/radiation is cruel, but for this month 
  I feel good  enough to allow me to be
 just a little bit alive —a little bit free
