Looking out the window tears flow down my face, As I returned again to another time, another place. Feelings of being all alone in a cold hospital room, Soon three words would fill my heart with gloom. My doctor came into my room no smile on his face, Words I was about to hear that I could never erase. He walked ever so slowly over to the hospital bed, The three words he then uttered flooding my head. “You have cancer.” was all the doctor said, Words that completely filled my heart with dread. The nurse sat down on the bed and took my hand, “Did you hear the doctor dear, do you understand?” I didn’t have a clue what I was suppose to think, Feeling scared and alone my heart began to sink. My husband, my child, what was I suppose to do? How do I tell them and get the message through? Followed by ten long months of chemotherapy, Nights and days praying God would set me free. You have no idea what my family went through, Because when you have cancer they have it too. One day we went to the doctor and he came in, Words he said then brought forward relief within. “Your in complete remission.” my doctor said, Soon after the words I will survive filled my head. My husband finally with a smile upon his face, Holding me close to him in a loving embrace. We could not wait to get home to tell our son, The cancer was gone, it was over, we are done. © Brenda Sparkman January 2005
