I can’t believe what my doctor just said
That
dreadful word still echoes in my head
Something’s
growing inside of me
That could
make my die
And nobody
knows the reason why
My doctor
said although he can’t be sure
He thinks
that this is something he can cure
But we must
start the therapy
As fast as
we can
So it seems
I have a new life plan
I’ve
never been religious but I do believe in God
And
I just can’t stop from thinking that it is rather odd
That
He would choose for me to suffer
In this
dreadful way
So now I
curse Him every single day
They start
injecting poison in my veins
It causes me
excruciating pains
My stomach
churns and I vomit
All
throughout the day
I think that
dying just might be okay
My hair
falls out my gums bleed and I ache
I’m not
certain how much more I can take
I look in
the mirror and see
Someone I
don’t know
All my life
I’ve never felt this low
I’m not very
religious but I do believe in God
And I just
can’t stop from thinking that it is rather odd
That He
would choose for me to suffer
In this
dreadful way
I hope I
still remember how to pray
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But
He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
And His name, through faith in His name
Has made
this person strong, whom you see and know.
Yes, the
faith which comes through Him
Has given
this person perfect soundness
In the
presence of you all.
Time passes
and I find things aren’t so bad
I’m finding
strength I never knew I had
People whose
names I barely know
Stop to wish
me well
Soon my life
is not a living hell
Then finally
my doctor says to me
Congratulations you are cancer free
I thank him
for all his efforts
But I
understand
I was made
well by another hand
I’m not very
religious but I know there is a God
And I just
can’t stop from thinking that it is rather odd
That He
would choose to reach out to me
In this
special way
And now I
thank him every single day
