Natures Tattoos

Nature’s Tattoo

I want a tattoo someday

Something to mark my body my way.

Not a memory of when I was sick

Red, angry lines that are bumpy and thick.

Not from a surgery;

Something that I want to see

Some wonderful, warm, and from my heart

Not a reminder of a failed body part.

Too many scars have been

Placed here and there-

Marks on my body that

I do not want to share!

My tattoo will be

-something about knitting-

Maybe?

That will set me free.

Nature’s tattoos

are not all they are cracked up to be.

I want a reminder that is special to me!

Color and beauty, family and faith

A wonderful mark to set the record straight.

This is the mark I want to leave

Happy, beautiful, healthy

Something for the world to see…

Or maybe just me!

Mutations

BRCA1, BRCA2

When a girls' got both what do you do?

Its an anomaly

Sit and worry about what life will be,

No! I don't think thats for me.

I've had cancer twice, in the boob and in the nest;

now I believe cancer needs to recess.

I won't live my life waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Too much to do, to many yarny stores to shop!

Kids to watch marry, grand-babies someday to hold.

cancer had it's time, now it is mine to be bold.

I will forge ahead, never looking behind,

with healthy and happy thoughts in my mind.

I am a survivor, that will always be true,

A survivor with BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Knitting Away the Knots

My house is in shambles, my classroom is getting kinda the way I want it, and my neck and shoulders are as knotty as my knitting.  But I am happy to say that another Yarny Road Trip purchase has been completed!

The Noro Kureyon Cable Bag!!
