Cancer Poem by Mary Wismer
Cancer
There's no trust left; it's all gone now
So during our next appointment
With you standing there dressed
And me mostly naked, shivery in a paper gown
You'll ask me how I'm doing
I'll tell you straight, Doc, just fine
Doc, thanks for asking.
To be on the safe side, to the doctor I went
He probed and he frowned, I knew what that meant
He sat for a moment, stared straight ahead
I listened real close to the words that he said.
Truth be told, I put so much energy into playing a role,
'Courageously fighting the good fight, ' that
My nurse, made a comment during one of my last chemo
Infusions that I will never forget.
'Ease up on yourself a little bit, why don't you, ' she said,
'You know, when this is all over, no medals will be given out.'
Though the physical body may be destroyed by disease,
The spirit can remain triumphant.
If disease has invaded has invaded your body,
Refuse to let it touch your spirit. Your body can be severely afflicted,
And you may have a struggle, But if you keep trusting God's love,
Your spirit will remain strong.

Keep it up. My cancer doesn't seem as bad as yours -I've had it since 1981, with no major problems, many minor ones. But I'm telling you because, 'I've been there, done that.' You have my good wishes.

Mary, I see you're examining every moment of your life now. Its so good to see you do that. I just wish there wasn't so much of pathos and I just hope God is going to rewrite a bit of something that was written a while ago or perhaps, there is going to be a sudden change and everything's going to start blooming all over again! Miracles do happen, don't they! I just wish for one to happen in your life, so I can continue to see you smile and reach out. Have a great New Year, Mary!
