Poem #1

An email I received:


"Hello, I was just recently at your page and I wanted to share my poem with you. My mother was recently diagnosed with stage III breast cancer and just had her masectomy a few days ago. This poem is just the outlook I am praying for. You are welcome to share it. It is a very scary disease especially when it's your own mother going through it all. Here it is, thanks for a great page.

Sitting in his office, thinking this is just a test.
He tells us the new's, and I felt my heart beat through my chest.
How could this be, this cannot be real.
I was so confused I didnt know how to feel.

Trying to stay strong and hide all the pain,
but when i am alone the tears fall like rain.
She is being so tough and hiding her despair,
She is so wonderful, this just isn't fair.

Today the doctor had to take her breast,
she will be so sad when she look's down at her chest.
I know how her heart must truly ache,
She acts happy, but we know its fake.

The long road ahead radiation and Chemo,
She will lose her hair, but then it will grow.
Through it all I will be right there,
The pain and fears we will share.

Now all the treatments are complete,
This cancer we fought so hard to defeat.
They tell us the cells have all gone away.
Now the only left to do is pray.
