My Story: Vennie: Enduring, Noble and Nurturing Into EternityTM
Symptoms sporadic, they come and they go,
Surgery, diagnosis… but, what do they know?
November air, crisp and cold,
Ovarian cancer, ‘6 months to live’, was told.
December chemo: 6 rounds, 21 days apart,
Dr. Plowden and Nurse Elaine…, God’s gift to my heart.
Support groups, and a positive circle of friends,
Chip-n-Belles…, laughter that never ends.
‘I’m fine’, I say, when asked how I am,
Faith by my side, Dr. Williford… God’s hand.
Through my window, glows the big moon,
Waves rolling so peaceful, lulled to sleep soon.
Day break dawned, a cloudless sky,
Beautiful sunrise, calms my eyes.
My brother, My friend, loved through and through,
Survivor’s guilt… wishing me… not you.
I’m still standing, after 20 years,
Saved by decision for Christ… No fears!
