Dave Dugan

Dave Dugan

47 year old male, married with 2 children. Daughter and princess Evelyn is 5 and my mini-me Hayden is 6. I'm recently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in the upper lobe of my right lung, it is in Stage 3A, t4n1. I'm not adding this for attention or sympathy, just to share an irony and perhaps a spiritual awakening. I wrote this poem sometime ago well before my diagnosis. At the time, it had multiple meanings to me with the underlying theme as to what is life and mortality and the fragile and complex nature associated with those themes. It also has elements of existence thru God and science. However, now with my current diagnosis, it has taken on an additional meaning to me that parallels where I am now and my thoughts. I felt this made it interesting enough to share. I've no expectations regarding this poem other than to share it as it has so many meanings to me. Perhaps it will for some readers as well.
