A Time for Everything


We have a time to laugh, a time to cry,
We have a time to live, and a time to die,
I've faced my ghost, but I know not why,
It wasn't  my time, the end not nigh,

Illness came like a bolt out of the blue,
No time for fear as the pain in me grew,
Seeking medical help, I knew what to do,
Ignorance was bliss, that much I knew,

Awake after surgery, barely able to speak,
Unable to move, my ailing body too week,
Tubes everywhere, for secretions to leak,
I knew it was serious, renewed faith to seek,

Cancer's not the killer, it once used to be,
It still strikes a fear, it happened to me,
Like a guillotine hanging, unable to see,
What medicine could do to set me free.
