Been and Gone

Listen to poem:
Like a never fading sun in the sky. the hospital light shines down as I lie. And you cant help but wonder will I die. Why me, why now, is it OK for a man to cry ?. When the blues and twos sing your name. You wonder who is to blame. and who put my name, in the frame. And you soon become a number in the great health game. A crystal ball is what i need Has I cant see a rosy future as been guaranteed. and I wonder if I should just concede that life as been and gone with such speed.

Indeed no one knows the future, but not giving up will definitely make it a better one...Of course when we are ill all doubts appear and break us...But I do believe ..many times a beautiful rainbows a ppears after the rain.Am touched by yr poem.

I wouldn't want a crystal ball to see the future as it may not be as long as we hope ! You have gone through a traumatic experience which you portray so well through you words. keep well my friend:-) hugs jan xx
