The Day the Doctor Told Me

On the day When the doctor told me My whole heart crushed Melting like snow in summertime Leaving me to wonder Was this moment My realty A fantasy Cause even though I don’t go to church Every Sunday I knew God wouldn’t plague me With a curse such as this I was too young to die Carry an illness which could Define me Would I make it Is there a cure Cause the way he was telling me My diagnosis and deterioration I wasn’t so sure So instead of making this a life sentence My death penalty I chose to live another day Not allowing this moment to end my dignity I knew my life wasn’t destined to end this way The day the doctor told me I was a victim to Cancer I gave the message to God Allowing him to solve the problem Provide the answer Only he could to clear my vision Cause at this time Everything was a blur I couldn’t stop, wouldn’t stop I knew he wasn’t done with me yet I wasn’t ready to throw in the towel Take a seat, swivel away Let my coffin bow down a whole 6 feet The day the doctor told me Not only did I take heed to what he said I believed in what wasn’t note Understanding I had a chance It wouldn’t be circumstances Used to close the book to my story But the reason to live and be loved To achieve all I ever dreamed of The day the doctor told me I had Cancer I simply replied, “No, I do not” I have life A life not complete, nor finished And after 7 years of living I am wiser, smarter, healthier and determined Not to let this Cancer make me a victim But claim my place in David’s army Nothing will happen to he who believes And guess what I’m a Survivor, I’m Here, and until My God is ready I am not going anywhere!!!!!
