[hometext] => Chrissie inspired me to post this poem which I wrote about 2 weeks after I was diagnosed with cancer.
[bodytext] => The day I found out I had cancer,
Was a day I'll never forget,
All the tears that I cried,
And all the pain that wouldn't go away.
I couldn't believe this was happening to me,
I didn't know what to do,
I felt like nothing in the world could help me right now,
And that I was all alone.
For weeks I pitied myself,
Knowing that I was going to die,
I sat there wasting away my life,
A shadow of what I once were.
One day I asked the Lord above,
Why this happened to me,
And I got an answer,
Although it came to me after about a week.
At school a guy named Bob,
Talked about appreciating yourself,
And you can do anything you want to,
But you have to have the courage and strength to do so.
A week after I was diagnosed,
Was the week I found the meaning of true happiness,
All those years I never was the “true” me,
Until my life was put at risk.
So two weeks later,
I am one of the happiest people you will know,
I always try to have a smile on my face,
And to take everything that passes my way for granted,
And not let anything slip away.
I learned that people out there,
Have a harder life than me,
And you should just take what you get,
And be thankful for every little thing,
That is in your every passing day.
Some people think that I am sad,
But they do not know me,
If they did then they would know,
That I am the happiest person in the world!

my dear I applaude you. Feeling positive is the way forward. Courage is born in difficult moments and this is yours. When you have overcome this there will be many people who will need you to help them through too. One thing though.....it is ok to cry as well you know.....its what being alive it all about.
A most wonderful write! |

An inspirational poem in its truest form. I was actually cheered up by this wonderful piece of writing. The term 'sunshine on a rainy day' springs to mind. Such an encouraging account everyone in the world should read it.
What a poem! What a message! What a girl!
Way to go Kassidi

Truely a write from the soul. Your heart shall speak and it will go forth, depsite the obstacle, one shall seek your heart and it says to push forward. A wonderful write. I personally can relate, and have been thru this. I went thru this in 1990 when I was first told, then after years of going thru treatments and even beta type treatments, I finally had surgery to eradicate it as well as another problem with it. that was in 1998. I was trying to have a child, but to no avail. I guess your write is tough at this point, for me, for I am going thru this again,( different part of the body, but painful) but not sure what it is they are dealing with, let alone all that is not being done. I am doing my best to be upbeat, for I am thankful for life's blessings,and grateful for all that have helped me, listened and prayed and still are for me. I know others have it worse, so this is the cross they bear. for mine, I like to try and keep thinking its not too heavy, and keep praying my illness will be fought again. I wish you well in your thoughts to this, since your write is beautiful and inspirational. Even an old pro as my self (smile) can use this too. Thanks my dear...
