A Poem

Jeans are blue
Khakis are tan
I bet you wanna know
The results of my scan

Some nasty juice
I had to drink
With nothing to eat
I was at the brink

Then it didn't go well
There was pain in my arm
The kind, sweet tech
Almost sounded an alarm

Then wait and wait
And wait I did
Into a teeny weeny
Funk I slid

Then Dr. D
Called on the phone
All is well
No reason to groan

My arm is fine
My lung is too
Hip hip hooray
A wish come true

During this week last year
I was taking some tests
PETs and CTs
I could hardly rest

One year ago
The shoe did drop
But I have beat the odds
And I will not stop

HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

Hip hip hooray!
Your lung is clear
We are so thrilled
Elyse my dear

One year ago
Your diagnosis came
And look at you now
Still very much in the game!

From friends to family
Drs. Roy, Dan and Paul
Your support has been tremendous
Many thanks to you all

A time to reflect
Take a deep breath and sigh
It's been a crazy year
To it, we say goodbye

Next scan in Houston
Time to book your flight
Look out MDA
Elyse is here to fight!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love you, Neil and Liz

Yahoo! the grass is green
My heart is red
Its awesome really
the results are NED

Some corn is yellow
Some corn is white
I never doubted
You'd put up a fight

The sun is hot
The rain is wet
I pray you have
the best years yet.

Great news to share
To so many who care
We knew your strength was mighty!

Now forward you go
might not even know
What flights will take your fancy!

But bring us along
Please lead us in song
For tomorrow will certainly be dandy!
