Back In The Game Poem by Joseph Skelley

Back In The Game

I thought my life was so different from all the others
Then one day I could barely speak I could just muttered
How could this be me being told I had bladder cancer
So many questions running in my mind and I had no answers

The Big C and I thinking the next letter was going to be D
Because cancer and death were all my eyes could see
As the dust settled my mind calmed down and began to turn
That cancer wasn't a death sentence I had so much to learn

So I thought to myself it was time to be positive, time to fight
I was going to battle this demon and inside use all my might
Well the days started to pass and I began to see the light
It was if my body grew wings and I began to soar into flight

In the days to come my family torn and many tests to come
The worst part being was waiting my mind was coming undone
Finally the answers it had not spread but was high staged
Inside I was mad but I knew it would do no good to feel rage

It was as though God came to me He was opening my eyes to see
That through all this turmoil good things were coming to me
Because now the cancer was gone and my life might not be the same
The greatest thing was with my family's support I was back in the game
