Shades of Life
Extended family, children play 
as sunbeams fall all slanted,
‘round a wooden table in the shade 
of a tree great-grandpa planted.
I like to think he smiled back then,
with sweaty brow, and handsome grin.
Old and wise – I’m sure he knew, 
in time his tree would block the view.
I wonder if he thought about,
his family tree - with branches out?
The bonds of blood were strong and grew.
So has the shade he never knew…

A Happy Ending
And so another saga begins
in a loving, aging extended family.
We are all victims of cancer's proclivity.

How could we have the temerity to
assume otherwise and miss the nuance 
that is her speciality?

Soon the marrow will have an aperture
that will attest to blood results.
A prelude to treatment.

A treatment that leaves it's latest victim
and us barren of joy and happiness.
Our lives on hold again.

Yet, just as one has survived,
we pray so will the other.
A happy ending....
