Today is the 10th anniversary of my cancer surgery. I have now been cancer free for ten years. This is my celebration of the day.

A gift arrived this morning.
A new day dawned
And I am part of it.
Another day
Just like the other
Three thousand, six hundred and fifty-two
God had gaced me with
Since death grinned at me with expectaion
All those years ago.
Another day
Another fourteen hundred and forty minutes
Rife with the potential for good or evil.
The choice is mine.
Free will
Another Gift from God.

 2007 Bobbi Duffy
