Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 CANCER by Lynda Roth Of all the words I've ever heard And all the horrors I have faced The one that stopped me in my tracks Is the one I most recently faced. Cancer! The word strikes fear Into the heart of anyone It makes the strongest person cringe For their body to become Inflicted with this dread disease With no warning of it to come And no way to ward it off It came so unaware I was not prepared. To plan a course and find a way To fight this cancer I now had And figure out how best to give Myself a chance to live. For I looked deep into myself And knew that I could win this war By facing battles one by one Not letting cancer up the score. I am healing in my soul My body is strengthening too The cancer soon will be gone My spirit is healing too. For I have willed my health to stay And allow me time for better days And love myself and grow inside And heal the cancer that has come Because I was too stressed to see What I had let become of me. And I'm sure that I will heal Because inside of me I feel The destruction of the cancer cells Now I'm know I'm getting well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
