Of Cows and Lymphoma
The
cows in
Hannaford’s
My Essentials
Dairy Department
smile as I steer my cart
along while shopping for groceries.
We
need milk,
cottage cheese,
stick margarine,
and some sliced white cheese,
as well as other things.
I
smile back
at the cows
who understand
that even though I
have low-grade lymphoma,
I’m doing the best I can.

Wow, I am amazed at your heroic posting, Suzanne. I admire those who are brave and I think you are all angels.............. you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sheri
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne. This is a lovely poem; simple, understated. I am very taken with the shape of the verses and wonder if you might have called it “cheese triangles”? David
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, This is an amazing poem full of imagery and bravery. I have a friend who has just been "cured" of lymphoma. Lots of prayers, a brave attitude like yours and cheerfully going about her daily tasks have all contributed to her recovery. I am praying for you and thank you so much for sharing your talent. I enjoyed the poem.
