In Fate's Hands

In Fate's Hands

I dedicate this poem to my friend, Kerry Morgan, who's going through a turbulent time.  May she find the peace that will soothe her kind soul. And to anyone going through something similar, my prayers are with you as well. May God Bless You All! 

In Fate's Hands

By Nomar Knight

First it started with an invader

A lump not noticed before

Didn't want to be a crusader

But curiosity rose to the core

So after many weeks of debate

You gave in to that little voice

May as well seek your fate

After all it was the best choice

Got poked and prodded all around

Until it hurt and became numb

Inside hope began to drown

Making you wonder if you're dumb

The waiting was really bad

Your mind roamed with scenes of doom

Moped around quite sad

Didn't notice when flowers bloomed

Tried distracting yourself with hobbies

To make the time pass by fast

Dreamed of endless halls and lobbies

The smell of death your shadow casts

Don’t want to die you say

For many good years remain

Sunny skies may as well be gray

The waiting drives you insane

The more the dreaded day closed in

New symptoms began to rise

Made a pact you won't again sin

Hoping He'll ignore the lies

I can't die yet you see

There's so much I've yet to do

Longer life I beg of thee

Won't bite more than I can chew

The day has come and you can feel

News of your fate is written

Shaking hands rip the seal

Time to know if you are smitten

Regardless of what it says

Realization strikes your mind

To live out the rest of days

Giving love and being kind

For you see we all desire

To live forever in this place

And forever will transpire

When we join his loving Grace

Let's not forget to pray for Kerry and anyone else in the same situation.
