Visiting a Friend With Cancer

We drove far to see you After hearing of your condition Still expecting to see the same jubilant, healthy, smiling, God-praising man that we knew But when we got to your room I barely recognized you Grayed hair sitting on your head and clinging to your face Your body weight plunging to the lower parts of the scale Only a trace of the man I knew But then you smiled and gently touched my hand And, I knew that cancer may destroy your physical body But your soul was the same – filled with God’s holy spirit, kind, loving, and righteous. At that moment I knew that No matter how the tables turned You WIN!
