Michael Tor Poet Rhyme

The Journey Begins

Debra's Doctor gives her a
prognosis of Pancreatic
cancer. She asked him, "How
long do I have to live?" "One
month was his answer!!"

  She is listening but she 
drifts in and out. In a state
of shock, she cries out!! 

  Scattered thoughts of her
children, husband, parents,
sisters, brothers, God!! 
  She can't go on she feels
like she has had enough!!

  Why me!!? she screams
inside!! She is trying
desperately to realize, to
realize, to realize!!

  "Everything stops right
now!! Oh my God I will die!!
I'm so afraid of death!! This
is not real," she shouts!!

   She cries, and cries!!
She ask God, why, why, why?

   The Journey Begins!!

Robert Lindley November 16, 2015 at 8:12 PM Great write my friend! Sad, thats just about how it went with my brother-in-law, only he was told about 6 months. He lasted seven...... He was only 58 years old and in fine health , other than that cancer. That was only a few months ago.. Michael Tor November 17, 2015 at 11:55 PM Wow Robert! I am sorry to hear of your brother-in-law. Such a tragedy so young. So much terror in our foods with the GMO's and the pesticides. No wonder it is destroying so many. It breaks my heart to read the obituary in the paper and see so many young souls leave us too early. Blessings to you and your wife Robert hope you are well my friend. Thank you for your visit.
