Never, in this world of mine,
did I think I would be consumed,
with thoughts of death or disfigurement
of my body...my life...at this time.
Others have gone through this
facing reality and hiding too;
but when it is you with so many questions,
your mind searches for answers to be sure.
My children and grandchildren know not
of the problems I am facing.
I can't bring myself to tell them, not yet,
I am the "strong one" who does the
embracing.
My husband is here with a loving heart;
after finding the lump in my breast
he took me lovingly in his arms,
"You are a fighter, you are strong,
We will get through this!"
No tears can I shed, for I am in no pain,
my heart cries with fear of all that is
unknowing.
Support all around me, from family and friends
I will make it! I will survive! I must
show this.
There will be days, good and bad;
I look on the positive side of what lies ahead,
wishing and knowing that whatever comes my way,
I will face with strength and love and be glad.
