Quiet and Kindness

(Chemotherapy Cycle 2, No. 2)

Quiet and Kindness Join up here. For most, the only unkindness Is the treatment. It can do things to you While it does its work. Welcome to side-effects world. All else, though, Is quiet and kindness, When the side effects aren't. But so it goes here, Where there are No straight treatment roads, Not one, I venture. Trial, error, trial again, Stop, start, stop, start again - And repeat. Here the quiet, Wrapped in kindness, Is a warm and welcomed blanket Of comfort and hope. Like a Foxford throw, Genuine.
