Choosing paint colors for the walls~
Buying fuzzy kids toys & new balls~
 
 Color my hair red trying to look pretty~
 Diet all the time I want to be skinny~

 Work really hard and try to move up~
Holidays at starbucks, I like the red cup~

  There's a chill in the air falls on the way~
   Put on clothes & get ready for the day~

Commercials for Christmas gifts on tv~
This is the best time of year for me~            

Everything changes in just one minute~                                                             Get a phone call with the C word in it~

Don't care about painting the walls anymore~
Worry about leaving the dogs I adore~
                                                                                                                                Might lose my hair so color don't matter~
Lose too much weight & I'll wish to be fatter~

Going to work now takes all that I've got~
At Starbucks pretend to be fine & smile alot~

Taking nyquil to sleep through the night~
Prepare myself for a really big fight~

Christmas won't matter to me this year~
Hope to get stronger with each new tear~

    change in focus

    Yes, that cancer diagnosis certainly does change one's outlook on what needs to be done and your time table for scheduling things.

    It's definitely a perspective

    It's definitely a perspective changer. Hang in there, and thanks for sharing the poem!
