Cancer
Cancer
My life before it struck?
I was 20 and healthy, always on the go.
I would never be anywhere to long.
There was laughter and tricks to be played.
When I heard the news…..
It started to storm and rain
I could hear the thunder crashing BOOM
I saw my past and future flash before me,
like the lightning in the midst of a storm.
What is the aching in my stomach?
It seemed my life was skidding out of control.
I tried to hold on with all that I am, but my strength
Was no match for the impending words of the doctor?
Now what I thought to myself?
I heard my mom repeat bible scripture.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
Then I saw my dad drop to his knees
I heard him ask, God save my Child.
In the office….
I felt a sudden chill run through my spine.
Was it death is this, what it feels like.
It felt like the rain and thunder were on top
of me now drowning me in is dark way.
