• 1111Its twenty two minutes past midnight

I'm in bed ,

but i  can not sleep

My mind is working overtime

My thoughts are very deep

My mind keeps racing

To this and then to that

So on here i come 

To write this poem

For the cancer research chat.

Not sleeping,

It isn't good

To just drift off

To the land of nod

In bed at night

Oh how,  i wish I could

But for me

I'm often ,wide awake

When most people 

Are asleep

As I said,

my thoughts 

Really do run deep.

I think of lots of things

That are in my  life 

I have ups

and some downs

But life in general

is good

So Ill wear a smile

And not a frown.

I've come so far

Been through a lot

But i know

I'm not the only one.

 I'm so  grateful 

For every second

Every minute 

Every hour, that I live.

So writing this poem 

For cancer research chat

Is easy for me  to  do

I just hope 

It resonates

with some of  you .

Cancer ,changes you

It makes you appreciate 

All the little things

That You didn't 

appreciate before

It's one of the only things

About getting cancer 

That I adore

As I think

its made me

  a better person 

Than I ever was before .

Now it's 

twelve minutes past one

So I must stop writing 

And conclude 

This poem is now done.

Good night all .
