The Crickets Have Arthritis

Today, a brilliant poem. ‘The Crickets Have Arthritis’, read by Shane Koyczan, the poet who wrote it.

I find it beautiful in its honesty and its plea for living life well, and I wouldn’t put it up here if I didn’t think and hope you would get something from it too. But I think it only right to include a health warning: it’s a poem about a 9 year old boy with a cancer.
