Enemy Or Teacher Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Is cancer an enemy
here to destroy me,
or teacher come to walk with me for awhile?
Will it bring me to my knees in surrender
or lead me on to higher places?
And, do I really need the answers anyway?
Maybe I should spend my time
being thankful;
grateful that I am where I am.
I am neither destroyed,
nor washed away;
just simply more aware
that life has limitations.
Who needs forever anyway,
when I still have you;
your love in my life
and my faith to get me through.
