[bodytext] => It started out a nice day Warm, sunny and bright But then something happened That turned the day into night. The tests are done and over And all the results are in Now I only have to wait To see if I lose or win. I'm sure it won't be long now Before the answers are heard It's just a matter of time Before I'm given the word. He's coming into my room In his smock so snowy white Will this bright, sunny day Become a dark, dreary night? I could see it in his face He had no reason to speak I just prayed that when he did I'd be strong instead of weak. "You have got cancer" he said "And it's not good, it's stage four" "I'll leave you alone for now" Then turned and went out the door. A awful thing this cancer, It takes your strength and might And as much as you want to, You've got no power to fight. Yes, my day did turn to night My greatest fear just came true How much time do I have left Before my whole life is through? Will I have time to do things Before I reach my last day? Or will the good Lord above Want to take me right away? What about my family? How will they get on with life? Will my children be OK? What will happen to my Wife? I'll fight to the very end Hang on as long as I can I won't give up that easy To the end I'll be a man. It's going to be real hard But I will fight all the way To turn that dark, dreary night Back to a bright, sunny day.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
