Breast Cancer Survivor Poem by Tracie Brown

I was taking a shower and noticed a lump under my breast
as I was washing my chest.
I stood for a second, hoping it wasn't true
just thinking of the things I would have to go through.
I went to the doctor and got a test
and they confirmed the lump in my breast
Tears began to fall from my eyes
and screaming to the Doctor 'This test has to be a lie'!
My emotions was getting the best of me
and I cried and yelled 'This can't be happening'!
I am just 22 years old and I have a whole life ahead of me
now what is my life going to be.
I can't imagine living life this way
and I have to make the decision to live each day.
God did not create me just to die
and I have to declare the Devil is a lie.
I believe now! that I am healed
even when I do not feel.
I know I will make it through this test
and my Savior will give me rest.
No matter what happens I will hold on
to the word of God that gives me strength to go on.
Lord, I'm holding on to your mighty hand
because you are the healer above any man in this land.
