The Revealing Pantoum

When I was very very young A new mother experiencing life Pain visited me with my song still unsung Now children my song will I play on my fife A new mother experiencing life Pain in my side to the doctor went Now children my song will I play on my fife Right ovary cyst orange size hosiptal sent Pain in my side to the doctor went He said that this could cause loss of life Right ovary cyst orange size hospital sent Well I went under the operating knife He said that this could cause loss of life For it could rupture at the least bump Well I went under the operating knife For them to remove this abnormal lump For it could rupture at the least bump Asleep totally out on operating table For them to remove this abnormal lump Went to the light to visit angel Gabriel Asleep totally out on operating table Then this light called me away Went too the Light to visit angel Gabriel Somewhere over Yonder_I went but didn't stay Then this Light called me away Peace, peace sweet peace in that place Somewhere over Yonder_I went but didn't stay My Grandmother sent me back through space Peace, peace sweet peace in that place Pain visited me with my song still unsung My Grandmother sent me back through space When I was very very young

Sara, you could enter this one in the "Divine Intervention" contest as well. Surely it speaks to that theme as well. Thanks for your comment. Love, Carolyn

Sara, this is such a moving account of your near-death experience. I'm so glad you recovered from this surgery and have been able to be there for your children. Strong write that will do very well in Jared's contest. Wishing you success in all you do. Love, Carolyn
