A Support System in Place

"Cancer will not defeat me

But it will define just who I am."

I know it will be a bumpy road

But I'll continue to be all I can.

For a time, my life will be limited

There will be things I cannot do,

I'll spend my energy dealing with this

But I know others have gone through this too.

So ahead we go to cure this disease

A great team is in place, I see.

The doctors, my family and friends are here

To love and to support me.

Yes, a defining moment this will be

And how I handle it will be key.

I'm determined to conquer this horrid disease

Then and brand new me I will be.

Brave words from a cancer warrior 

Sometimes the best and only thing we can

do is to pray....so we do.
