Surgery Day
April 17, 2019
Waking up at seven am
Getting ready for the big day
The day they put an IV in my hand
The day I wouldn't be able to play
Waking up at seven am
Getting my blanket and pillow
Scared to fall asleep again
I had to stay strong as a willow
Rolling into the big operating room
After all the ¨see ya later¨ hugs
Hoping it would be as quick as a zoom
Falling asleep from all the soft drugs
Waking up with all the blur
Looking at the big balloons
Seeing my family reoccur
With smiles and all their tunes
Thanking God for another day
Appreciating every small thing
Waiting for the twenty-fourth surgery day
And everyday worshiping

This piece is the feelings that I have everytime I have a surgery. Many people wonder what it is like being on the other side and now they have my perspective from that other side.
