Grateful
I can hear the gentle buzz of the air conditioner
Soothing its way to my dream state
And I am grateful
Now I can live again
I can look to a future
And my mind dances across hopeful projects
All this from devoted research
All this from new technology
All this from faith, spirit and guts
The tests, the chemo, the radiation
Bright fluorescent hospital lights that startle
Radiation hums
Now almost forgotten
So here is my daydream
To live, to feel, to be
And I am grateful
