by Alan Bedworth

Life these past two months,
has been very testing.
Learning someone close
has developed cancer.

Visiting the hospital to see them.
What do you say to someone
with a limited life-span.
They're lying there
and you know they are dying.

On top of that you and your wife
have issues that need healing.
then news comes through
a friend from childhood
has passed away suddenly

Yet for all this tragedy.
There's a feeling God
has been watching,
and giving a consoling,
yet uplifting spirit and determination
