LIFE NOT DEATH

MY HEART ALL TORN AND TATTERED.
MY SOUL NO LONGER WHOLE BUT BATTERED.

CONTINUE AS I MAY TO GRAB ON TO LIFE, BEING TOLD MY LIFE WILL BE SHORTENED,HOLDING BACK THE TEARS, I DO NOT GRIPE.

MY FEEBLE BODY I MOVE ON SLOW, THE CHEMO WORKING THROUGHOUT MY VEINS A CONTINUOUS FLOW.

I PRAY GOD WAKES ME UP TO SEE ANOTHER DAY,TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO PULL THROUGH THIS KIILLER AT BAY.

I WILL NOT GIVE UP NOR SHED TOO MANY TEARS, FOR I AM READY FOR THE UPCOMING YEARS.

I AM NOT READY TO LEAVE THIS PRECIOUS EARTH, I HAVE TOO MUCH TO GIVE, FOR ALL THAT I AM WORTH.

I can feel you here. It was short, but in that small space you were able to pull out a lot of emotion. I felt a weight pull from me as I read. I dont think you needed the rhyme, this poem can stand on its own. Very good job.

Real life experience when translated to poem had a very powerful impact. Life is so precious especially if you have more to give in life. Keep up the good fight. God will always have mercy on us all. Be brave, be ready and be better always. Thanks for sharing this poem to us.

You have been through so much...why we must suffer certain things is beyond me, but I once read somewhere that "life is just a test...it is ONLY a test." Never lose sight of that...it is commendable that you still manage to fight to live considering what you've already been through. We all have lots to live for, problem is, the majority of us never stop to really count our blessings and see how lucky we really are. If we have minds that are clear and work, two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet that work, and we are capable of doing certain things, if we have family and friends that really care about us, then we are truly blessed. May God bless you and keep you strong. And never forget...you won't go until it's your time to go. For some reason God has deemed that you continue to live...maybe just to write these inspirational poems. You never know, your words may touch someone who is in the same situation (or worse) as yours and give them the strength to want to see another day.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
