THIS WAS JUST HOW I FELT WHEN I FOUND OUT MY DAD HAD CANCER, JUST MY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS.

In His Hands

©  Jamie Cirello
I heard some bad news today, something that made me scared,
Today I found out my dad has cancer; it was something I had always feared.
I knew many people that passed away because of this evil cell,
Yet I know of some that beat it, and of course turned out well.
The fact that my dad is sick, just completely blows my mind,
When this poison is inside of him, and the cure they cannot find.
My mom is really upset, and doesn’t know what to do,
My sister cries herself to sleep and sometimes I find myself doing it too.
I know I have to be strong, and my prayers are always said,
But the question is: Does anyone really hear me when I’m lying there in bed?
What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, that’s why I always have hope,
But with each passing day that it’s on my mind, I find it really hard to cope.
I promised myself that no matter what, I would stay strong for my dad,
His feelings he does not show really well, but I know that he is sad.
I know our fate is in your hands God, but please have mercy on his soul,
Hold his hand and watch over him, as his treatment he will soon undergo.
Help him through this struggle, as he is precious to me like a pearl,
God, please listen for our prayer’s……….signed….daddy’s little girl!

This is one of the best poems I've ever read on this subject. Three weeks ago my father died of lung cancer. I am a poem writer, but when I found out. I couldn't even begin to put all my feelings into one poem. This says everything, and more, on how I felt. I couldn't say it better myself. This poem is so absolutely amazing. I'm sorry for the news. I really pray that your father gets better. Life is really really unfair. I honestly never thought it would take him. I really pray that your father is one of the lucky ones.
