Albert says I’m on my phone too much

First, I protest

Then I think a little and I realize

The reasons why I’m my phone so much

My phones is my means of communication with my friend around the world 

From Iran to Switzerland to Sweden and such

I do my banking on my phone 

My grocery list 

My dictionary and thesaurus is on my phone 

My entertainment 

My camera and my photos are on my phone 

I write my poems and

I read the news on my phone 

I research things 

I listen to podcasts 

And I do committee work on my phone

So, that’s why I’m often on my phone 

Albert protests and says

Your time with me can’t be on your phone

Cancer has reminded me of how fragile I am 

Cancer has led me through the valley of confusion and disappointment 

Cancer has made my mortality more real

But going through cancer treatment has showed me I can overcome adversity 

with the support of family and friends 

It has showed me how much I am loved

Cancer has taught me to be grateful for each day and to not take my health for granted 

With every difficult experience comes gifts of great value

Yes, the path is rocky and there are unexpected surprises

There are many what ifs and whys

But I try to focus on the positive and learn the lessons of life
