Sense Sonnet - Acher

Measure of Time

I'm terminal the doctors say,
Unless an operation's done.
But the insurance will not pay.
Other options - there just are none.
My family is so upset -
Not able to understand why
The ways and means to save are set
So some will live and some will die.
I believe that I am at peace
With whatever will be my fate.
I pray my loved ones find release
In sharing love - no time to hate.

Sharing love with my family
For all the time that's left to me.
