The Eye of the Beholder
I stand in the mirror and see my 62-year-old body.
It’s had better days, believe me.
Two scars on my breast from lumpectomy’s
Thank God, there was no cancer.
On my thigh a long scar where skin was harvested,
To stop a spinal cord leak
After three failed spinal tumor operations.
My saggy belly, the result of two children
And many, many pieces of chocolate.
I think to myself, I am a warrior
I am a survivor, and I am glad that I got old.
