Breast Cancer Prayer

God, I need you desperately
For I’ve gotten results from my test.
The diagnosis is not good
For the lump they’ve found in my breast.

I’m numb and scared and in shock
For I don’t want to die.
I sure am not ready to tell
My family and friends good-bye!

Please give me strength to fight against
This disease that makes me weak.
And help me to put a smile on my face,
Even when things look bleak.

Remind me I’m still a woman
Though my breasts there may no longer be,
For a woman’s beauty is on the inside
And not that which people may see.

When I am crying and in pain,
Remind me, for I might lose sight,
Of my family and friends so dear to me.
They’re the reason why I must fight.

But if my last breath I must take,
Please take care of my family.
Wipe their tears and help them move on
With only good thoughts of me.
