How A Day Changes
It started out a nice day
Warm, sunny and bright
But then something happened
That turned the day into night.
The tests are done and over
And all the results are in
Now I only have to wait
To see if I lose or win.
I'm sure it won't be long now
Before the answers are heard
It's just a matter of time
Before I'm given the word.
He's coming into my room
In his smock so snowy white
Will this bright, sunny day
Become a dark, dreary night?
I could see it in his face
He had no reason to speak
I just prayed that when he did
I'd be strong instead of weak.
"You have got canaer", he said
"It's not good, it's stage four"
"I'll leave you alone for now"
Then turned and went out the door.
An awful thing this cancer
It takes your strength and might
And as much as you want to
You've got no power to fight.
Yes, my day did turn to night
My greatest fears came true
How much time do I have left
Before my life is through?
Will I have time to do things
Before I reach my last day?
Or will the good Lord above
Want to take me right away?
What about my family?
How will they get on in life?
Will my children be OK?
What will happen to my Wife?
I'll fight to the very end
Hang on as long as I can
I won't give up that easy
To the end I'll be a man.
It's going to be real hard
But I will fight all the way
To turn this dark, dreary night
Back to a bright, sunny day.
From one fighter to another.
Your poem cut to the core of how I am feeling. I know how hard it is to fight when you just ain't got the strength. I am working on fighing my 2nd and 3rd kind of cancer now. I hope and pray that your darkness has turned into light. If not I have a flashlight maybe we can both use it. Sending you GOOD THOUGHTS. You are in my prayers. Take care of yourself
We are all just litter boxes waiting to be cleaned out. And when we die we are finally clean. Don't fear death... welcome it ... when it is time.
Thank You

Sorry about your illness I will keep you in my prayer never give up the fight people are beating it everyday and nice job on the poem.
I will continue to fight. I
I will continue to fight. I am amazed at the number of people that care about somebody that they don't know. It really helps because unless you are stricken with cancer there is no way anybody can know what you go through.
Thank You for caring.
Never give up, my prayers are
