It Pains Me A Lot Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

IT PAINS ME A LOT
Melvin D. Banggollay

It pains me a lot to see my mother
Grieving in pain while suffering cancer
When she was operated by the doctor
To remove the masses of active tumor
That suddenly grew in her left arms
Causing us so much worry and alarm.

We had to take her to the doctor
For immediate treatment of the discolor
Of her left shoulder and extremities
Causing her so much burden and anxieties
That truly put her life in imminent danger
As the biopsy result showed its cancer.

But with the guidance of the Living God
With his everlasting mercy and love
She blessed my mother with strength
To take all the pains and carry in full length
The long and deep incisions the doctor made
To remove the destroyed tissues with Gods aid.

Thank you Lord for guiding the doctor
And giving them your healing power
That made them successful in their action
As they made all the necessary precautions
To enable my mother to take all the ordeal
With courage and faith in you that is so real.

I pray that blessed all who have prayed
And wished for her recovery as she laid
For many days in the hospital at Baguio city
And to those who came by to visit and see
With a gift of encouragement for her to fight
And be strong to face any trials in full delight.

I also pray for your continued blessing
and protection to all of us without ending
that by the power of your love and mercy
my mother be healed from her illness completely
and her soul be clenched that she may be worthy
to be in your kingdom with my father someday.

All these I fervently ask in the mighty name of
JESUS, our Lord and savior….AMEN
