Nearing a Cure
Nearing A Cure
By
Tom Wright
(A 38-Year Cancer Survivor)
I pray that with each passing day
Man will find an answer,
For that dreaded disease
We’ve so long known as cancer.
Let’s get involved and slay
This wickedest of beast,
From the most robust among us
To the most frail and least;
Let’s fund this beast from our all
Not merely from excess;
While continuing to front our cause
Lets not digress.
Let us plant the seed and water *
Then expect they’ll sprout and grow,
But there’s much work yet to do
And too few willing to sow; ***
Some unproven seeds of theory
We may see not succeed,
For they may not get the funding
That they have need;
But to God in prayer
Daily faith we must release,
Remembering that He alone **
Provides increase.
* Matthew 13
** 1 Corinthians 3: 6-8
***John 4: 35
