My Testimony Oftentimes Told.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

My Testimony Oftentimes Told

All three girls were not married yet,
still teenagers
The doctors discovered cancer in my grandmother's belly,
according to the x-rays,
she would die within two years!
Their father died when they were very young. My mother as the youngest was only one year old, her sister 3 years old and the oldest sister 4 years old.
My beloved mother was very shocked
and very sad and started praying every day
and night.
She didn't know the words,
but she prayed every night that her beloved mother should be spared because she first had to raise all 3 girls
and then a boyfriend and then married.
At that time it seemed impossible
because of these facts:
their mother had cancer.
The doctors had demonstrated that
on the X-ray.
My beloved mother's world collapsed.
Grandma needs to be checked again
after a few weeks.
She came to the hospital.
While awaiting the results of her check,
the doctors yelled in unison: WHO removed the cancer on the X-ray photo?
There is no longer a cancer spot to see? !
Totally clean, blank, totally nothing.
The doctors told my grandmother
that she no longer has cancer, so suddenly, but no doctor would talk about God's great miracle.
Grandma was very happy
and my mother would soon know
that this is God's answer because
she asked for Grandma's recovery
so that all three daughters could have a boyfriend and then get married.

Grandma died when I was 12 years old.
All my aunts were married
and each had three children.
My mother was the youngest, so all my cousins are older than me.
My mother asked me to tell her testimony in the church, I did that.
She did not dare to tell it herself,
found it difficult, but this miracle
must be told. She asked me to do it,
because I am used to giving lectures to students.
Many times and again I have told my Mother's testimony.
It has enriched my life too.
