for Nancy - when she talks to God


They say I’m sick – I’m feeling bad.
It’s just too much. It makes me sad.
                                                                                I heard – let’s talk – you shouldn’t fear.
But you don’t know – it’s scary here.
                                                                                But that's why I am here to talk.
                                                                                You can’t forget, with you I’ll walk.
Some days I carry such a load.
                                                                                Like a Cross being carried on a dusty road?
Some days the pain just makes me cry.
                                                                                Like thorns on a head – a spear in your side?
But pain? How can you understand?      
                                                                                See the holes in my feet and hands?
But so many think my days are done.
They look at me like I’m already gone.
                                                                                Remember when they jeered My Son
                                                                                Assuming He was not the “one”
                                                                                Yet He remembered to talk to me
                                                                                And then embraced His destiny.
It’s Cancer Lord! How can I cope?
What if I lose my faith and hope ?
                                                                                Oh Nancy, dear, I’m glad you asked.
                                                                                Because of that, I’ll  take the task.
                                                                                No matter what your earthly ills,
                                                                                Don’t ever doubt My Love…but still
                                                                                My plan for you is evermore.
Tell me what you have in store.
                                                                                On earth your life is just a phase
                                                                                But when it ends your soul will raise.
                                                                                Your faith filled life is just a dream
                                                                                For when you wake, it’s me you’ll see.
So this is just for here and now
And someday to your throne I’ll bow?
                                                                                The details I will not now tell.
                                                                                Just live in love, and in love you’ll dwell.
