Uncharted Territory - Poem Written For a Friend Newly Diagnosed With Cancer
http://Faithwriters.com
This poem was written on hearing from a friend newly-diagnosed with cancer:
Uncharted Territory
This new voyage on which you have begun
Is taking you into, as yet, uncharted territory.
It is a journey not ’cross distant seas,
Nor to foreign lands, but to deep within your self.
It is a time, during which you will discover hidden depths,
And strength you could never believe you possessed
On it you will make new friendships and deepen old.
You will discover new loves, new joys and new life
Things you may once have taken for granted
Will become so very precious
Like jewels mined from deep within earth’s darkness.
Supported by loved ones near and far
You are strong enough for this your own odyssey
So go with fortitude to reach your appointed destination
that is you.
Isaiah 45:3 " I have given you the treasures of darkness, riches hidden in secret places; so that you will know that it is I the Lord, the God of Israel who calls you by your name "

HI Anne, another encuraging poem. I wonder if you added in the title (A poem about a diagnosis of cancer) or something to this effect. I do believe it would get a wider search audience and perhaps bring many who are searching for comfort at a time like this to your piece. Just a thought :-) TeresaRespond to this comment
