The Gift of Cancer
...for Barbara
The Lord searched His green earth
For an Angel He'd sent there
He had a special gift for her
He sent it wrapped in Prayer
With ribbons of compassion
Love entwined each bow
He gave her much ,so she could give
And say,"I really know..."
He knew she would accept his gift
Her faith would help her bear it
Unlike some others ,lost in self
He knew that she would share it
And share her gift indeed she does
She lives and feels the pain
She seeks the other "gifted" ones
And relives it all again
She does embrace Gods special gift
Mastasized, breast to bone
Remaining His faithful Earth-Angel
Until he calles her home

| Why Must It Be Her? |
dedicated to Patricia's mother ,
Barbara,who has terminal breast cancer.
(from Patricia)
It just isn't fair, Lord...
Why must it be her?
A lifetime of anguish
She's had to endure.
It doesn't seem right ,Lord...
That she be so ill.
She's already known heartache
That most never will.
I don't understand ,Lord...
Why you've let this be.
She's suffered so much ,Lord...
Why wasn't it me?
