Two major operations have left metal in my spine 

A new bionic woman, fashioned by doctor's design 


So I'm four inches shorter than I was ten years ago

That seems to make my body shape look like the letter O


My eyes are having trouble and they don't see very clear

The positive in that I can't see myself in the mirror 


My body is a mess; most of my joints have been replaced

Instead, I should have taken them to church and have them graced


I can't make up my mind to have my shoulder surgery 

My ortho doctor says he has a bone to pick with me


My husband came into my life and he would steal my heart

Yet, one thing that I've kept from him, he's never heard me...


The parts inside my body that you can't see with your eyes

Some have been taken out and now there's room to organ-ize


I sharpen up my brain by reading/writing when alone

That's also been a way to help to sharpen my backbone


I know when it's my time to go, my eyes will have to wait

 The pupils will be last to go, cause they will both di-late
