The Cancer
When someone you love
has the cancer
the chips are all down
and the shit really
hits the fan
but it happens in slow,
slow motion---
It means days, weeks,
and months
of terrible bad pain
that puts bare hearts
stretched
all the way out on the
cold iron racks.
You find out how much
strength
we humans really have,
how deep the touch of a
hand
can reach,
and how very kind
the silence in your
soul can be.
But, Lord God! help us
all
what a way to learn.
Dewey Dirks
