Today’s poem celebrates that one year has passed since my son went through a bone-marrow transplant. A long and trying year, that gradually got better, and though the journey is far from over, today marks a vital mile-stone.
To the Bone
Bone marrow one year old today!
A lot to be grateful for.
Here’s thanks to doctors and nurses,
Scientists and hygienists, researchers,
Generations of tax payers,
Politicians who took risks,
Radiologists and oncologists
Pushing boundaries.
Nature and humankind,
Stunning capacities of blood,
Science that developed drugs
To treat errors in genes.
To the young man who donated,
To the brave one who lived through it.
Today I celebrate you all.
