Mri

I was in an MRI today…. I thought of all the people who are kind to me All the people who help me with things All the people who have made a positive difference - Each and every one - I thought of sunrises and sunsets I have seen The lakes and mountains and wildlife I thought of flowers, crocus and Iris And the sweet smell of the Lilac in the breeze I thought of my pets who love me unconditionally - And protect me - Instead of thinking of the emergency string in my hand, I thought of holding your hand at the river, Watching the water sparkling, flowing on by Instead of thinking of the loud hammering, drilling noise Or the clamped helmet that was on my head, I thought of these ongoing pleasant things, And a poem was born in the MRI instead!
