they said that i would probably die,
they said there wasn't much hope for me,
they said that IF i lived, i'd be damaged,
they said, "get used to disability,"
they said i wouldn't amount to much,
they said i would be considered "slow,"
they said that i was mentally impaired,
they said the coma caused that, don't you know,
they said i would never walk again,
they said i'd better learn to prepare,
they said that both my legs would never move,
they said i needed to use a wheelchair,
they said i'd be dead within the year,
they said the cancer advanced too fast,
they said, "just enjoy the time you have left,"
they said, "make your peace, make each moment last,"
they said i'd learn to live with no arm,
they said i would learn to compensate,
they said it will get easier with time,
they said i just needed to concentrate,
they said i'd never regain my sight,
they said i would never see again,
they said i would get used to the darkness,
they said i'd learn to cope...want to know WHEN???
they say my dreams are only that: dreams,
they said i'm living a fantasy,
they said i really need to get a life,
they said learn to accept your destiny,
they said i should be through grieving now,
they said the time for mourning is done,
they said i need to get on with my life,
they said the time for healing has begun,
they say...
but what they don't say...God says to me:
He will comfort us and sustain us in our troubles (Isaiah 26:3,4; John 14:1-27; Phillipians 4:7; Psalm 34:19; Psalm 37:24; Psalm 38:7; Psalm 50:15; Psalm 91:10; Psalm 103:3,4; Isaiah 41:10; Job 5:19; II Corinthians 1:3,4; Deuteronomy 7:15; Exodus 15:26; Exodus 23:25; Jeremiah 30:17;)
They power of words can either heal or stagnate ourselves and each other, and being in the healthcare profession I would say dearest Karla TO HELL WITH THEM...YOU CAN!!!! Powerful, Special, Provocative, Poignant Write...Bravo!

I have a special person who's story I want to share with you (smile) His is a story of true inspiration.. and on listening to what God says... not what they say.. http://kbs.prohosting.com/hubbycam/cancerindex.htm
Who are THEY. We need to get you some new people around you ? Nicely done, Karla. Real healing is when one talks about what they CAN do. We all have 'can'ts' and they will control us if we let them.
This is so inspiring,the best I have read in ages.
I will keep this one in my very special files as it is something that would help anyone at anytime.
Who is right?
That little spark inside of you,the one that never gives up,that's the only one right to listen to,and the one who gave you that spark will stick like glue when the negative stuff is happening,you know that for sure ,your poem says it all,
you can rise above anything and you have.
Wow...what a lady,I admire you so.
Best wishes always and thank you for your poems.
