Poem
On the day When the doctor told me My whole heart crushed Melting like snow in summertime Leaving me to wonder Was this moment My realty A fantasy Cause even though I don’t go to church Every Sunday I knew God wouldn’t plague me With a curse such as this I was too young to die Carry an illness which could Define me Would I make it Is there a cure Cause the way he was telling me My diagnosis and deterioration I wasn’t so sure So instead of making this a life sentence My death penalty I chose to live another day Not allowing this moment to end my dignity I knew my life wasn’t destined to end this way The day the doctor told me I was a victim to Cancer I gave the message to God Allowing him to solve the problem Provide the answer Only he could to clear my vision Cause at this time Everything was a blur I couldn’t stop, wouldn’t stop I knew he wasn’t done with me yet I wasn’t ready to throw in the towel Take a seat, swivel away Let my coffin bow down a whole 6 feet The day the doctor told me Not only did I take heed to what he said I believed in what wasn’t note Understanding I had a chance It wouldn’t be circumstances Used to close the book to my story But the reason to live and be loved To achieve all I ever dreamed of The day the doctor told me I had Cancer I simply replied, “No, I do not” I have life A life not complete, nor finished And after 7 years of living I am wiser, smarter, healthier and determined Not to let this Cancer make me a victim But claim my place in David’s army Nothing will happen to he who believes And guess what I’m a Survivor, I’m Here, and until My God is ready I am not going anywhere!!!!!
