September of 73
a young mother
pushes out
an early child
unformed lungs
un-termed gestation
out
before time
in
a matter of time
"She'll never live,"
the doctor prophe-lied
and the 4 pound premie
struggled against the machine
helping her lungs
do
what the doctor said they
couldn't do
I've never been the one to listen to limits.
38 years
456 months
1,824 weeks
13,870 days
332,880 hours
19,972,800 minutes
1,198,368,000 seconds
later,
I'm still here.
Living life out loud
with Love and Laughter
Well, doctor.
*smirk*
I am my own 2nd opinion.
