First the diagnosis Then the prognosis Indeed it is cirrhosis Alongside the cancer Is the answer They will no longer be a dancer First comes shock At no longer being a chip off the old block Wanting to throw a rock It just can’t be they are too young Why has it spread to the lung Will these be the last words rung I want to ring its neck But we need all hands on deck So emotions are kept in check Then sadness comes along Oh this is so wrong They want us to be strong All leading to depression And many a session Even a confession Can’t they be given another chance Couldn’t there be a different circumstance But in the end we all end up at acceptance The five stages of grief In a brief Poem is my belief Andreas Simic ©

The Five Stages of Grief
First the diagnosis Then the prognosis Indeed it is cirrhosis Alongside the cancer Is the answer They will no longer be a dancer First comes shock At no longer being a chip off the old block Wanting to throw a rock It just can’t be they are too young Why has it spread to the lung Will these be the last words rung I want to ring its neck But we need all hands on deck So emotions are kept in check Then sadness comes along Oh this is so wrong They want us to be strong All leading to depression And many a session Even a confession Can’t they be given another chance Couldn’t there be a different circumstance But in the end we all end up at acceptance The five stages of grief In a brief Poem is my belief Andreas Simic ©
