Enemy or Teacher
Is cancer an enemy
here to destroy me
or a teacher
come to walk with me
for awhile,
will it bring me
to my knees in surrender
or lead me to higher places
of learning?
Could I not have attained
this deeper awareness
from a less cruel teacher?
Why such a hard knock,
such a swift and painful blow;
are there any answers
that I really need to know
or should I just
spend more time
being thankful;
grateful that I am where I am.
I am not 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.

Deeply moving, you have captured thoughts and feelings of
cancer patients one and all, Lovely bringing the close to acceptance and strength, The last four lines flow to the beauty
of gratitude for what is, The victory of love, God/Love can't have one w/o the other.

I think that you should publish your work. Find an newspaper that has a section on poetry.
