TWO WORDS

line
The first news came the third day of June.
For two months I have dealt with cancer.
I have not fought alone. Family
And friends prayed God would give the answer.

Support has come to us from helpers
Sent by God. Sweet family, dear friends,
And fellow Christians I've never seen,
Will stand with us 'til the battle ends.

My life's mate is with me every step:
Biopsy, results, my fight with fear,
Mastectomy, then, limitations,
Check-ups. My husband is always near.

The latest words came at July's close
When the oncologist talked with me.
My husband and I smiled as we heard
Two words, precious treasure! "Cancer free."
