The storms rolled. 

Thunder rumbled a 

frightening roar. Lightning 

strikes fire in the sky. 

1

Holding on to faith. 

Whispering prayers. 

Taking every second 

getting through one by 

one. 

2

My focus being, " I'm here right 

now. I just have to get through 

NOW. Each second leading to 

the next. Every second ahead 

lies in the future. Seconds 

passed is another second 

survived."

3

Even in the loudest of storms, 

there was peace. God filled my 

heart with unearthly definable 

peace.

4

There were times I could feel his 

warm presence. Times that I 

thought he had left me. During 

those times of thought to be 

abandoned I should have felt 

alone, but faith was in my heart, 

and God had already prepared 

me for what's to come. 

5

It was the time I thought he 

was gone was my deepest 

struggles. I remember the pain 

as I could not move or lie 

down. 

6

There was a moment where I felt 

torn down to the core. I no longer 

could feel for earthly things. If I 

was to die, I was ready to accept. 

I didn't care anymore about the 

pain,the uncertainties. 

7

My earthly way of thinking 

just seemed obtuse. This 

was the moment I 

surrendered all. It was a 

peaceful moment. For I no 

longer had to have all the 

answers, no need for 

control. I just surrendered 

all.

      8

And Just like a storm in the 

sky. The clearing came. The 

healing came. The light of 

another new day shined upon 

me. I was stronger than I have 

ever been. 

9

Surrendering all led to the only 

heart longing for the things 

that should matter. The people 

that should matter.

10

I was torn down to the core. I 

was rebuilt with new found 

wisdom, courage, faith and 

more happiness and 

contentment that I could ever 

have known.

                  11

I faced more storms just as the 

weather cleared. I found it was 

my struggles in these storms 

that was to prepare me for 

what I was to endure. So I 

lived. I struggled. 

               12

I fought harder to win this 

battle, not just against cancer 

but for my spiritual self. Joy 

did not escape me. 

                13

I had to hold onto seconds. 

Each moment I looked for my 

reason to smile, my reasons to 

laugh, and I always found it.
