Cancer... a dreaded frightening word to hear,
It took my breath away.
I didn’t cry, I couldn’t because I was totally numb,
When the doctor told me that day.
Like a puppet I just did what I was told to do,
The tests, the surgery and pain.
Leaning on God and Jesus with all my trust,
To make me whole again.
Yet knowing that it would be His will to live or die,
Accepting what He decided for me.
Still to this very moment and time in my life,
I don’t know what His decision will be.
My journey with cancer has been long and hard,
Yet I still fight for life each day.
Knowing I will never be well without a miracle,
So faithfully each day I pray.
Not so much for healing of my body as for strength,
To go on with time that is left.
I waste not one precious moment of God’s gift of life,
By feeling sorry, sad and bereft.
When the time comes I hope to be remembered,
As a soul that loved and cared.
I really don’t know if I am ready to take the step,
I just hope that I'm prepared.
But I like to think my God loves me so dearly,
That with Him He wants me to be.
A final trip to another life awaits I’ve been told,
Where I may live through eternity.
So don’t give up and stop fighting the battle of life,
We don’t know what’s in store.
Cancer..that ugly word we so dread to even hear,
By God can be wiped away forevermore.

Please do not give up nor lose your faith in God. For cancer has been known
to vanish overnight. So miracles do happen if you believe. God bless each of
you who are fighting this battle. The road is long and hard but worth the effort
and if it is your time to go then try to accept God’s will. He has a reason
for everything.
Blessings to all who are on the road I am traveling.
