I am absolutely disoriented while I wait. I am unable to reclaim the time I have lost. I was entirely sure of my counterpoint. Being warned led to her bewildered epithet. Something odd is going on in this universe. Her nightmare overwhelmed her deeds. It is a rare occurrence on Planet's surface. This was observed in a variety of breeds. "I'm sorry," the doctor whispered in her ear. These are her worst, deepest plights. My main concern is how I fit into this fear. Put her most deepest anxieties to rest. This is a sign that the tumor is carcinogenic. Tumor proliferation is increasing rapidly. She left the hospital; she was beset neurasthenic. With too much imagination, she went loopy. Thus far, it is the fatal endeavor I have ever faced. She was fearful if she would meet with fate. Notify her relatives of the specialist's prod. While being unseen, she felt the impact. In the same way, they depict her experiences. Also, I'm going to faint, and I'm pretty upset. I am willing to make voluntary sacrifices. My children are crying, and I'm stressing out. My tears mirror the early-morning rain to me. What she is saddest about is the cancer scare. After all of that, her concerns started to grow dim. She said, "I love you," and closed the door.

Twice I was diagnosed with cancer and the one time they gave me nine months to live. This was 40 years ago. God knows best! As you see my dearest friend, Lasaad, I am very much touched by your outstanding poem. May God keep you and your family healthy. Blessings .

Most sincerely, thank you for your nice words and your strong support, dear friend Demetrios. You realize each human has a specified number of breaths upon this earth. Also, when the equilibrium is zero to pass on, sickness doesn't kill and mishaps too, only when our time is up. My absolute best wishes of sound and long life and the expectation you will constantly be sparkling, my friend

Hi Lasaad, You have penned such a sad and heartfelt write for the contest. When a loved one gets such a diagnosis, the whole family does as well. Best wishes in the contest- Alexis

Fear can do many things dear poet it an alienate us from those we love, a scare like that can encase us in glass, and feel like no one can hear us scream I have had a few scares along the years, and this is what it feels, like, beautiful poem , very heart felt, my heart is thumping.

I can well relate to your poem. My sister and wife both had cancer. I have one too but seems under control. I'll know more at my next visit.
