Self and Sense
Illness has returned
I felt it from the fatigue
Ever ongoing and now constant
And next week the doctors
They want to see me to talk
I am not afraid of dying
Put pain that is something else
And I will need to find a way
To leave it and try not
To frighten my family and friends
Time is closing my husband
You do not comprehend
You will continue to be angry
And wonder why I forget
Simple things — I feel for you
But I need to contact with
Self and my Sense of the Divine
And what the doctors say
Connecting with what always comes
Feeling the Reality and Wonder
That happens all our days
