'Twas the night before Chemo,
when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; Anxious in bed with nausea and doubt The princess kept saying "No tears are allowed!!!" For what would it change? Would it make my fear rest? Would it undo 12 weeks of IVs and tests? Would it lighten my load or undo my stress? Would it make my hair stay? Or bring back my breasts? ' Twas the night before Chemo, so I just crawled in bed I silenced my thoughts and then bowed my head Just speak to your storm as the old scripture goes Jesus has got it under control #peacebewithyou #speaktoyourstorms #speaklife #reflection #prayer #chemo #icandoallthingsthroughchristwhostrengthensme #survivor#breastcancer #breastcancerawareness#bca #onedayatatime #LivStrong

Never was there ever
a day that would pass That she didn't treat like it was her last Under the lights she sparkled with class In diamonds and flowers Drowning so fast Counting the days and thanking her friends All of my life Where have you been? When the music is over in the city of sin She just breathes deep and takes it all in I swear when it hits It cuts like a knife All of the pieces I'm hiding inside And there's not enough time Or words I could say But the kindness I've witnessed Just blows me away!!! Thank you to everyone who brought Summer to my Fall. God bless #eyeswideshut #isthislovethatimfeeling #LivStrong #WCW
Shout Out to the ROCKSTARS the BRAVE SOULS and the REBELS To the women rockin bald heads Ya’ll deserve a medal As I sat on Floor 14 today watching every patient The tears kept rolling down my face Not sure if I could take it To the women who are smiling and holding it together You are my new heros Couldn’t think of someone better Behind those silky scarves and behind the wigs you buy I see a room of suited soldiers as I look into your eyes Shout Out to the ROCKSTARS the BRAVE SOULS and the REBELS May the loved ones that we know Never have to face this level For the road is long and hard and the path is just our own Thank you to my God For never leaving me alone Isn't Manhattan pretty
in the morning when she cries? The raindrops wash away the pain she can not hide The Angels spread their wings above the city's sky Allow us to reflect on the seasons of our lives Isn't Manhattan pretty sometimes when she cries?? As she stirs up our thoughts and brings in a new tide For the clouds are simply dancing Somewhere up above While I'm just down here splashing In my dreams and love Isn't Manhattan pretty especially when she cries??? I'm learning it pours hard right before the light 🗽💦☔️🌞💖🙏🏻🎀 #poet #look for the light #LivStrong |
AuthorOlivia has been writing poetry since the young age of 13. It was always a private passion of hers. However, after surviving cancer she decided to start sharing her work. It is important for her to connect with others going through a similar journey and hopefully provide some understanding and inspiration. #LivStrong Archives
