The worst thing that could be,
Has already happened to me.
The surgeon said I had
Cancer.
But I’m still standing,
No longer demanding
That God should (please!)
Take care of me.
Not hope, but faith
Is left in cancer’s wake
And survival has inspired me
To be bolder.
I know worry is a waste,
And I’ve left that hurried pace
Time is too precious and
Life needs me.
I take new steps each day,
Letting love light my way
And give wings to childhood dreams
Still inside me.
The worst thing that could be,
Has already happened to me
But my life is much richer since
Cancer.
