His Difficult Journey

Cancer menaces his life

Like hurricane threatens a sail

Alone in a tattered boat

He has no choice but

To navigate the turbulent seas


Ominous clouds block the sun

Turning his days into raven black 

In the darkness he sees no future

Only hears roars of the raging waves

Smells stench of death  


In despair 

He turns to divine guidance

His trepidation assuaged

Courage to battle salvaged

He will hold tight onto faith
