Hope Street: Poem


My wife has been battling ovarian cancer since July 2017. We had nothing but bad results all 2017. With new chemo meds being used at the start of 2018 and we were hoping for better results I came up with this poem while in waiting for the CA 125 tumor marker number results.


Title: Hope Street
By: Bruce Hackmann 

Excuse me.
Can you tell me how to get to Hope Street

I can tell you what the road to Hope Street is paved with

As you drive straight ahead for the State of Forlorn
You may feel some sadness and your heart may get torn

Your mind may get consumed and become miserable 
And with every turn everything may seem unthinkable 

However, things can change when you get to Change Street
With one turn you will be on Carefree Street 
The next left you will find yourself on Strange Street

Along the journey, you will find yourself on Hopeful Street
Don’t get optimistic; soon you will have to turn onto Sorrowful Street 

With every wrong left turn and right turn you’ll wonder if your spirit can be respondent 
As the road crumbles with each passing mile, you’ll be left feeling so despondent 

Do not worry
The next left is Hope Street

This is the path you will have to take  
I hope you will enjoy your travel to Hope Street
