Today my dad turned sixty-five. <br />He's very ill but he's still alive. <br />He was diagnosed with leukemia in 2011. <br />He was born on this day back in 1947. <br /> <br />Even though he's sick, he's holding his own. <br />He has the comfort of knowing that he's not alone. <br />He has to have chemotherapy to survive. <br />On this day my dad turned sixty-five.<br /><br />Randy Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sixty-five/
