Celestine Ikwuamaesi Poet Pastoral

A Testimony

Up to Calvary Jesus went;
died and rose again for me.
Now that he lives forever, 
I'm sure to live hereafter.
Thus, the day he smiled at me,
I thrilled, realizing I'm his.

So, when the killer cancer
barged in to cancel my life,
on his face, a victor's sneer,
I looked past his threatening,
and saw Jesus' face beaming;
a sign that death was lying.

I braced up by faith and stared
flush on his murderous face.
Cowered by the doomful glare,
he jiggled, fizzled, and fled.
I reeled with hearty laughter 
at Satan's shameful slaughter.

In Christ lies the victory; 
He's the answer to cancer.
