HIDDEN DISTRESS
The lab
results
were out
CANCER
A dark
shadow
covered
her heart.
Every
step was
painful.
Tears filled
her eyes
that day,
but she
would not
let them
fall down.
She would
never
let the
world see
her cry.
She was
a strong
woman.
She had
to be.
For the
sake of
her dear
husband
and her
cute li'l
children.
None knew
her pain.
She was
cheerful
even
through her
hidden
distress.
The joy
of the
Lord was
her strength,
till her
very
last breath.
