Lawrence Hall, HSG
Awaiting Cataract
Surgery
You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long
enough to suit me.
- attributed to C. S. Lewis
and others
I will give up my books
When someone pries my cold, dead hands from them
Companions of my youth, tellers of truth
Next to my heart when the mortar rounds fell
But now I see the world
As through a dark lens darkly, well enough
For most common household purposes
But those dear words on any page – not so
I never thought I’d say
That I’m looking forward to surgery day!
