Notes About The Poem

Written on November 25, 2025

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The Fight

Many times, my heart stands still
Listening, breathing, breaking
So certain this cancer isn’t God’s will
Knowing it is darkness that is always taking

Many times, my soul falls into fear
Whispering, murmuring, feeling
Lost among the pressures of each tear
Praying for my Savior’s precious healing

Many times, my spirit needs consoling
A blessing, a miracle, sanctification
This cancer’s hatred is so controlling
But there is a love at my foundation

Many times, my prayers are unspoken
Lost on wordless lips who need
Because of cancer, my heart is broken
But I know One who will intercede

Many times, cancer tries to write my story
Filling me with lies – dissuading light
But there is hope, awaiting me in glory
Where Jesus wins even the worst fight

It is a beautiful poem and timely as 1 cousin I'm close to is in the last days of a terminal cancer diagnosis. You know we don't know why God allows such & faith is the only, everything, answer we may hold. I KNOW God is holding you, angels surround you and that you are eternally His precious child. I am adding you to my prayers and give thanks I encountered & was blessed by you & your pen.

All prayers are appreciated. God bless you. Love, Gina
