I heard some bad news today, something that made me scared, <br />Today I found out my dad has cancer; it was something I had always feared. <br />I knew many people that passed away because of this evil cell, <br />Yet I know of some that beat it, and of course turned out well. <br />The fact that my dad is sick, just completely blows my mind, <br />When this poison is inside of him, and the cure they cannot find. <br />My mom is really upset, and doesn't know what to do, <br />My sister cries herself to sleep and sometimes I find myself doing it too. <br />I know I have to be strong, and my prayers are always said, <br />But the question is: Does anyone really hear me when I'm lying there in bed? <br />What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, that's why I always have hope, <br />But with each passing day that it's on my mind, I find it really hard to cope. <br />I promised myself that no matter what, I would stay strong for my dad, <br />His feelings he does not show really well, but I know that he is sad. <br />I know our fate is in your hands God, but please have mercy on his soul, <br />Hold his hand and watch over him, as his treatment he will soon undergo. <br />Help him through this struggle, as he is precious to me like a pearl, <br />God, please listen for our prayer's……….signed….daddy's little girl!<br /><br />Tiana Webb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-his-hands-5/
