I Know I Haven'T Been Around

I know I haven't been around To check up one the latest What could have taken up that time? I haven't got the faintest Well, actually, I guess I lie 'Cause I know what's gone down Life has a way of throwing you curves At times, it kicks you around My dad, well, he has cancer He's struggled for awhile But as of now, he's doing good So I sit here with a smile Then life threw us for another loop I always seemed to be sick The doctor said it was only the flu And I should get over it quick But that's not how it all turned out A tumor squished my lung X-rays, biopsy's, CT Scans and surgery I can't say it was very much fun Life can be a funny thing It can make you laugh or cry It can bring you joy and happiness Or make you ask the question 'why?' But I know through all the struggles This one thing is true No matter what life throws into my path I have a God who will see me through!

I wondered about you.... and missed your talent here on PS. I am saddened by your maladies, but joyful in your faith. Just know that you are loved by an awesome God who wants nothing but good for you, no matter how different the world may paint it. I send love and prayers.... Use them as needed..... Jake
