Sitting in pain in a hospital bed
Another nurse comes who I dread
Tubes aplenty, bandages few
I reached for my iPad for words to spell
Bored with it all especially the bed
It was a torture I knew well
Experience I seemed destined to dwell
In, cancer again, almost a nightmare
Wanted to write about it and share
Perhaps it would help me
Or some other poor soul
Who found themselves in a similar role
Finding a new friend I was relieved
My search for answers was received
Finding a place to express feelings of fright
Encouraging words I could write
To help others in such a mess
Finding a new way for them to address
I started a blog with their assist
Writing from the heart, and in the midst
Found an answer, a small one at best
The iPad and blogging with zest.
