My lung disease has has sifted out from me a different personality on a path I would not have selected without it's influence. My lung disease has hampered me by removing the opportunity of being employed long hours doing something I dislike at the expense of my family. My lung disease has denied me the luxury of filling my home with objects I don't need but want. My lung disease has taken from me the capacity to express indifference toward somone else's pain because of my own personal immunity. My lung disease has limited me by seizing my ability to take life for granted and see wellness as an entitlement. My lung disease has clearly altered me physically to some degree yet my soul has never been more healthy so who can say I am not better off? |

Great poem! I especially admire the positive ending. Uta Lotharingia "Wir wollen nicht Wert und Sinn ... wir wollen Unwert und Unsinn" Raoul Hausmann |

A smile and tip of the hat to you Jeen, well done indeed. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP |

Hi Jeen  There's three things that struck me the most, (1st)the true and honest feelings of a person enduring and coming to terms with a devastating disease such as this (2nd)the courage it takes to face each day not knowing if there will be another... something so many of us take for granted and maybe,just maybe,if we didn't we would have chosen different paths, made different choices and been much better human beings as a result (3rd)making others realize that all the love they have in their lives should be cherished, give that extra hug, one more kiss, a simple kind word, don't waste a single precious moment because there may not be another I'm sorry this is so long Jeen, it's just I have seen huge, long explanations, in great detail written about a poem someone doesn't like for many foolish reasons, I felt compelled to tell you what your poem made me think and not just what it made me feel. Thumbs Up Jeen  |
