She was a dynamic, charismatic lady;
A daughter, mother, and wife
Always bubbling with positivity toward life
Never did she repent for any shortcoming
Was indebted to God for everything
The family was her strength and optimism
Her dictionary knew not the word “pessimism”
Suddenly one day, she noticed her eyes were flaxen
Oblivious to the fact, her life would be shaken
She was flippant, but still sought an opinion
Was admitted under the care of an oncophysician
And finally, she discovered that it was cancer
A dreadful name which changed her life
“Is it the end, or will I survive?”
The thought flashed in her mind, “Why me?”
From this state of affairs, she just wanted to flee
Her hubby gave her the courage to fight the battle
He knew she would be able to show her mettle
Days, weeks, and months passed, and after one year
The physician declared that her disease was clear
But in her mind persisted the fear
“What if it comes back again,
Will all the efforts be in vain?”
But an inner voice whispered, “There is an Almighty, have belief”
Positivity regained, and she had some relief
It is now 10 years down the lane
Life is back to normal and she has nothing to complain
She mentions it was a positive attitude, faith in God,
Her resilience that she strived against all odds
Today she feels energetic
Zestful, empowered, and enthusiastic
She once again has a magnetic life
As a loving daughter, mother, and wife
Financial support and sponsorship
