Notes About The Poem

Written on January 8, 2026
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Am I Being Heard
[Verse 1]
Our lives were on an uphill slope
We were happy, no reason to mope
Our hearts full of grace from above
Nothing could dissuade our sweet love
[Chorus]
In an instant, cancer revealed her arrival
Soon, nothing was important but survival
Our lives were changed so completely
Cancer assured she never walks discreetly
[Verse 2]
Our dreams became a memory to recall
The leaves wept with the passing of fall
Although we tried, we couldn’t forget
All the reasons for living… so much to regret
[Chorus]
In an instant, cancer revealed her arrival
Soon, nothing was important but survival
Our lives were changed so completely
Cancer assured she never walks discreetly
[Verse 3]
My prayers are full of pleas for healing
Will God hear? Does He know how I’m feeling?
Will tomorrow bring a cure for this disease?
Taking the treatments, as I fall to my knees!
[Chorus]
In an instant, cancer revealed her arrival
Soon, nothing was important but survival
Our lives were changed so completely
Cancer assured she never walks discreetly
[Verse 4]
Cancer writes her story in heartbreak
In the shadows, darkness does forsake
Writing in tears and fears, loneliness nears
And my soul remembers peace who disappears
[Chorus]
In an instant, cancer revealed her arrival
Soon, nothing was important but survival
Our lives were changed so completely
Cancer assured she never walks discreetly
[Verse 5]
Cancer kills the cells that make me whole
I feel it’s shadow trembling in my soul
When will I see this pain pass away?
Oh, dear Jesus, all I can do is pray…
[Bridge]
Just pray, pray for the healing – you say
Wait just a minute, restoration will come today
A cure! Oh, God how I pray, just pray
For a recovery… Oh Jesus, come what may…
[Verse 6]
I know You have the power, to heal completely
And your love! It is love that sings so sweetly
A song of grace and hope, love that blesses those
Who know, whatever comes, You died and arose
[Outro]
You died and arose, and thankful that I chose
To believe You when you say, there’ll be a better day
Come what may, there’ll be a better day
And I just pray… pray for it all to go your way!
