Tear

a tear in each eye
surviving the bad hair days
my tumor and I
both shrink from radiation
the treatments tear us apart

contrast for the word "tear"

not personal with me, but my husband just started this week oral chemo for a blood plasma cancer. I appreciate your challenges and they keep me writing as much as I can these days. Thank you, Constance, for being yourself. You are blessed.
