The Unwelcome Guest
by Nancy Sack
Clandestinely
Unexpectedly
Cancer creeps into my life.
Invading
Weakening
The sturdy walls of my home.
Cracking
Destroying
My solid foundation.
Dear Unwelcome Guest,
Did you know I planted my
soul in my children
and have given my courage to my loved ones?
These treasures you cannot
take from me.
