Cancer’s Vacation Where would cancer go for a vacation?

Cancer’s Vacation

Where would cancer go for a vacation?
Would it fly to Hawaii and stroll on the beach?

Would it send me a post card
or bring me back a t-shirt?

While it was gone,
would I feel better,
be free of care
and able to do all I did before?

Could I buy it a ticket for a three-week cruise,
or a weekend getaway?

Or could I just send it to the movies
for a couple of hours of respite
from the worry,
from the pain,
from the anger,
from the fear?

Just posted this poem to my blog and thought I'd share it here.
It's one from the poetry book I am writing and hope to get published soon.

Peace,
Andrew

Nice Andrew.........I wish it would go on vacation and never come back.

I plan to leave it at home for 3 weeks while I travel to Bremerton WA to be with my daughter in law. She will have her first baby (a girl). Her Husband will be out to sea in a boomer Sub. So Grandpa will take his place in the delivery room.

I'll tell you what...it was nowhere to be found on South Beach/Miami Beach where I just returned from a week+ vacation. I definitely brought up the average age curve there...as expected!
