The Surgery

The Surgery The surgeon came in bright green garbs A shinning steel blade in hand Ready to glide it easily thru me My body, my faithful companion Ached and pained evermore Under his able hands My anatomy swayed and sang Chirping like a dewy bird On a branch in spring Like a passenger on a long journey His sutures brought a stop Leaving me to cope with the pain Of filing for medical insurance 11/05/2011 For Judy’s A Short poem Contest By-Tahera Mannan

Dear Tahera, this poem is soooo witty at the end, it almost takes the focus off the fear associated with surgery. You are in my prayers, my friend. Excellent entry for Judy's contest! Wishing you success. Love and blessings for good health, Carolyn

Those last two lines sure give this a twist of reality, Tahera! Yup that sure could be more painful, I hope all is well with you-- if you don't mind me asking, what kind of surgery did you go through? I wish you a speedy recovery, also just one extra n in shining, hope this helps :) -- have a good week :) hugs
