A poem I wrote that most of us can relate to.

Excuse me, I'm sorry are you talking to me? I thought you just said I have the big C

There must be a mistake, this can't be right I don't feel ill, in fact I feel just fine

Before I knew it, there's letters galore. In fact it gets boring and a bit of a chore. It’s not sinking in and doesn't seem real, it's hard to say exactly how I feel

Another appointment, another hospital bed…it’s something I hate and something I dread

But I have to stay strong and make everyone proud, it takes all my energy to not just scream out loud

I know I'll get through this, and I know I can cope God help me through this journey and give me courage and hope

When this is all over, and I have the sun on my face, this will all be a distant memory.. another time another place

With a smile on my face, and a will to survive, I'm not giving in I'm going to succeed, I'm going to thrive.
