In January of 2009, I was diagnosed with stage II/III breast cancer. In spite of it all, I have found a beautiful light of love within the walls of this battlefield. Thanks to all who hold our hands, wipe our tears and lift our spirits..., it is you whom we are fighting for.
A Single Cell
By: Suzi Sundquist
What is this abnormality?
It's growing fast inside of me.
How did this happen, what have I done?
It's not my fault, the odds have won.
Mutation of a single cell,
You start with this, then go through Hell.
At first it's just a couple cuts,
But then it spreads, chemo's just nuts!
This poison kills all in its path,
Too weak, too sick, the aftermath!
I think I can beat it, I'll just have to try!
My family and friends, they won't say good-bye.
I know there's a reason, I'm not sure just why,
The Lord puts us through this, I look to the sky
For strength and for courage, the faith to get through it.
Support for my loved ones, I know you can do it.
Within all the scares, the bruises and pain,
Each minute of life, is our biggest gain.
I tell you, I love you! Don't want you to cry.
I'll try everything and try not to die.
But in the event, it is written that way.
Be sad not for me, just remember this day.
When we woke up this morning, the sun and its' glory,
Said hello to us all, now get on with your story.
For each of the days, we are given a chance
To love one another, make life our own dance.
So fear not for me, I'm grateful to say
I've been given a chance and yet, one more day!
