The long & windy road

Beyond the haven of happiness
My disheartened disillusion of doubt
There would lay a long & windy road that I could well do without
An helplessness of uncertainty
An element of shocking surprise
As I hid between my unconsciousness & tightly closed my frightened eyes

Patiently I had awaited my fate from a received hospital letter
Concerning my recent mamogram appointment
Would I have the dreaded cancer & not get better
Yet I opened the envelope, I faltered to read the write
A friend willingly offered to share my secret after I had explained my sickening plight

All at once I saw her reaction as her frown went upside down
She threw her eager arms around my neck saying “ Jill your result is clear”
I sighed with overwhelming relief &  thrust out a colossal cheer
Such a clarity of cheerfulness  as my friend & I caressed
I truly was beyond emotion,
Realising my future was blessed
