A Journey from
1944 to … Now
2005–2006 School Year
Western Reserve Academy
Yes, I was back—another year.
Though cancer had created … fear.
And here’s another tale to tell:
Another cancer came, as well.
The summer of 2004–
Oh, just a bit of time before
I got that stunning prostate news—
A year of living Cancer Blues!
A squamous cell—a forehead spot.
The surgeon took it (cost a lot).
But this was all a preview for
The cancer that I feared much more!
But I regained some strength—and felt
That with this hand that I’d been dealt
I could … adapt. And so it was.
I learned what resolution does.
I loved the year—yes, once again.
In ways it was as it had been.
But we had had some splendid news—
The sort you’d love if you could choose:
In February (year before)
We had a grandson we’d adore.
And Logan is the youngster’s name—
He loves his sports—oh, any
game!
But best of all? The precious part?
That young man has enormous heart.
