This Cancer Thing

I lie here awake,I just
can't sleep.
The things,I think about,
are just too deep.

I pray to God,my soul
to keep.
I should look,before I
leap.

I tossed and turned,
and tried my best.
I really did Lord,try
to rest.

I thought and thought,
I must confess.
I just failed your very
best test.

This cancer thing,
isn't that easy.
It makes my stomach 
very queasy.

I get so tired and weak
I just can't speak.
By the end of the week,
I have reached my peak.

I have so much ,I need
to do.
But, most of it Lord,I do
for you.

I need a break, for every
ones sake.
My soul is not ready for
God to take.

So,please bare with me,
and help me fight this
thing.
Into my life,peace you
will bring.
