I'd rather be in Bohol

I'd rather be in Bohol for a week off.
Escaping to White Island, battling the waves instead of issues.
Having a toasty tan under a warm morning sun, instead of freezing in icebox of an office.
Sleeping off under the sussurating breezes, instead of another overtime tinkering on the web.

I have a week off indeed
An escape indeed, but battling boredom as i battle to breathe
Not in an icebox, but in a cool white room in a hospital block
Trying to sleep with gentle nudges when the nurses knock

I tried not to be here...
Proud of my good health, the 5k runs started when I was 51
No hospitalization alone, since my last ones were having my kids born

I have to humbly concede
That during these golden years,
Despite fruits of my push to succeed
I realize when the mind clears
I can ask for a hand
I can sing with the band
It's ok to so say no
Go with the flow
Positive is constructive
Enjoy the care and love
And be grateful to God above.
