Is this really POETRY

One day I woke up with diabetes and told my wife goodbye

I really thought I was dying it was such a lie

14 years later I so regret that long goodbye

Through thick and thin she has stood bye me

How silly to think I could die

How could I think of dying with an angel by my side

Diabetes is sent to test us that is the reason why

Never think of dying never think of saying goodbye

You know you got my thoughts pretty well wound up there? So I would say YES it is. 37 years after diagnoses I thanj God everyday that I wake up for giving me one more day to live.
