I Have Good News, Mom

 
With all the bad-   I got good news,
for five months I have had the blues;
all my thoughts tangled up with muse,
to despair I said-  I refuse;
just worked on hobbies to amuse.

My mind went to awful places,
I prayed to God for his grace's;
friends gave me blooms and embraces,
I wept at roses in vases.

Waiting was endless and scary,
I became quite solitary;
my home a safe sanctuary.

I did a lot of soul searching;
there was a lot of soul aching.

then the phone call came - no cancer

I am thinking about tattoos,
of butterfly wings and faces;
visited the cemetery,
told my mom the good news shaking;
whispering-   mom, got the answer.

A very personal and touching poem, beautifully constructed. It’s lightness and simplicity of touch, unsentimental emotional content and happy conclusion makes it all the more appealing. A favourite for me.
