The Dutch Weather Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

The Dutch Weather



My loves and life
are like the Dutch weather
despite forecasted bright clouds,
brings tough stormy weathers
and yet this love has kept us tied together

I know my love like an X-Ray
but I am not the doctor, what could I say?
perhaps I forgot one biggest factor
that tiny spot behind the bladder
and yet this event has kept our love together

One day the hospital called me
they told me, your spouse has cancer
oh, that tiny spot behind the bladder?
I haven´t heard that in your last answer
despite this, it has made us stronger.

Walking the next steps on my own
made life, love and my being at their lowest
the X-Ray changed like the Dutch weather
the doctors exaggerated that tiny spot behind the bladder
despite this, my love stays and grows strongest.

Thank you for your worthy advices, but I'd prefer to keep the original lines. Once again, thank YOU, Bri. Yes, we are BOTH well, excellent, but still in the Dutch Weather sphere, LOL, now the most beautiful and cozy Indian Summer sphere....

i liked hearing your words describing your relationship and the episode with cancer. stanza 2 starts with a most intriguing/clever line. and it continues with, for me, a little mystery, which you soon cleared up for me. last stanza: the first two lines are some of my favorites: Walking the next steps on my own made life, love and my being at their lowest (cont.)

Where there is deep love in a spouse no hindrances can wash it out, may it be the Dutch weather that brings tough storm suddenly or a spouse has cancer. Despite love increases more. Dear Chan, you have inscribed this poem so touchingly and astutely. Let it be quoted.... My loves and life are like the Dutch weather despite forecasted bright clouds, brings tough stormy weathers and yet this love has kept us tied together ******************************************* Walking the next steps on my own made life, love and my being at their lowest the X-Ray changed like the Dutch weather the doctors exaggerated that tiny spot behind the bladder despite this, my love stays and grows strongest. Brilliant poem. Thanks for sharing.
