NOT GOING FOR A REVERSAL.
It’s good when we have got a choice
and great when we can give our voice
to feelings, reasoning, and thought
for solutions that are sought.
For some, there’s no choice to be made
as once they’ve succumbed to the blade
there is no chance of going back
so, they are stuck upon this track.
For others, they may feel afraid,
or maybe it seems retrograde
to return to how they were
making previous problems stir.
I’m sure it comes as no surprise
that some will come to realise
that they’ve adjusted to their lot
and are grateful for what they’ve got.
They’ve no desire to face the threat
of the chance that they might get
worse than they are presently
and live their lives less pleasantly.
Some have done their research, so
they know that they should just say no!
because it is not right for them
and may lead to their requiem.
There’s many reasons to decline
a reversal and that’s fine
for those who choose to go that way
so with their stomas, they may stay.
For those who get reversals, we
hope that they will live to see
improvements in their daily life,
free from pain and free from strife.
