Tears Turned to Fear
“The darkened sky stole my tears” and left me
to face the threat of cancer with deep doubts.
Fear overwhelmed me, my tears absentee,
dreading the shadows of my whereabouts.
Not hiding my bald head maybe was dumb;
my plague, the curse of chemo, I abhorred.
Then I read the beginning of wisdom
is found in the fear (reverence) of the Lord.
God’s Word took precedence, shedding His light
on the darkness that had engulfed my soul.
Reading Psalms / Proverbs long into each night,
God’s promises put worry on parole.
My doctor is honest, tells me no lies;
cancer is gone now but may be returning.
Nevertheless, my faith in God survives
and godly fear is a lesson I’m still learning.
