Something wicked this way comes As we get older Our pain grows bolder Issues become more acute Life’s problems are resolute Something wicked this way comes Over the next two days My husband and I will be put through the medical maze Option one; Surgery for me, Cancer treatment for him  if we’re able These are the worst case options on the table Something wicked this way comes Both of us maneuvered the cancer scare A conversation with God, prepare everything happens in stages Also, the emotional saga rages Something wicked this week comes Monday it Begins Hubby’s Dr Ears Nose and Throat Will take a gander at the.a lump in his mouth He’s had Cancer there before, life went south Something wicked this way comes Tuesday it’s my turn Evaluation, for chronic cervical stenosis In both cases, the unknown is the prognosis My brilliant surgeon has the worst halitosis Something wicked this way comes Over the next two days we’ll learn our fate Is this destiny‘s date? Is there an arbitrary number of illnesses Assigned to each of us trials and tribulation,Don’t make a fuss The only thing I can do is give it to the Lord His words are my sword Something wicked this way comes The air is thick, hard to see clear Whatever is looming, it’s coming near You can; plead, promise beg and wish if wishes were fishes We’ll all go swimming The only term I have It is what it is All the worry in the world won’t change it Inspired songs 1) remember when 2003 By Alan Jackson 2) live like you were dying 2004 By Tim McGraw 3) don’t worry be happy 1988 By Bobby McFerrin 4) what a wonderful world 1967 By Louis Armstrong BLT word of the day challenge November 2 arbitrary Arbitrary describes something that is not planned or chosen for a particular reason, is not based on reason or evidence, or is done without concern for what is fair or right.
