rumors of my imenent passing
are worth another tongue lashing…
Of which I got
Quite a few on the spot,
for the cardinal rule of diabetic wound care trespassing!

MACULAR DEGENERATION
MACULAR DEGENERATION
–
The diabetes consternation,
Macular degeneration…
Injecting eyes
Is medically wise,
Given proper education!
–
Tomorrow is my first,
I hope nothing bursts…
It’s a longer drive
To keep hope alive,
And dig deeper into the purse.
–
One thing I lack,
Someone to drive back…
I’m taking a chance
By the seat of my pants,
But hope I’m on the right track!

PHANTOM CREEPY-CRAWLIES
PHANTOM CREEPY-CRAWLIES
I perch on the bathroom throne,
Thinking I am alone…
Then feeling a crawling
Up my leg (appalling),
I brush it off quickly and groan.
–
But there is nothing there,
The “bug’ vanished into thin air…
It sounds so mean
While feelings careen
‘Tween fear and utter despair.
–
Infections for a diabetic are worse,
Enough (a continual curse)…
But creepy-crawlies
And neuropathies,
Of phantom bugs are really adverse!

FRIENDS DUE TO SICKNESS?

FRIENDS DUE TO SICKNESS?
By Jonathan Caswell
A friend he has at work
Says he wouldn’t be his friend….
If the man were not sick,
And on him he had to depend.
–
This puzzling state of affairs,
For two who used to fight…
Is now they work together
Seeing things in a different light.
–
It helps, one can suppose,
That both care for ill family….
The one, his elderly parents,
The other his bride lovely.
–
They share that common bond
And talk about theology…
Allowing disagreement
To not hamper the work to complete.
–
The one with diabetes
Sometimes tries to work too hard…
The other has learned to watch him
And has kept him working so far.
–
One other time I’m aware of,
When sickness led to great wealth…
In Galatians, Chapter four, thirteen,
When Paul stopped there with ill health.
–
The upshot of that recovery
Was Galatians finding the Lord…
And Paul writing a letter
To please get their spirits restored.
