If You Just Believe

Just sat down and started writing off the top of my head.

My Poetry's Truths:

I'm riding with my girlfriends on our way to the mall.
I picked up my phone when I saw there was an incoming call.
On the other end was my doctor saying, "I have some bad news."
Then went on to say, "Please come to my office today around two."
Got dropped off back home with my mind wondering wild.
My patience running out wondering what the hell I den' got myself into now.
Now I'm at the doc's office sitting in a packed waiting room on edge.
Then I heard, "Come on darling you're next."
Followed the nurse to room number five and she said the doctor would be in.
I sat there with tears in my eyes as the bad thoughts began.
The doctor walked in and sat in a chair placed next to the bed.
He said, "Sorry to say but you have cancer," as he patted my leg.
I asked, "Are you serious. Are you sure you ran the test right?"
He responded, "Yes I ran the test more than twice."
I asked, "What do I do now? How long do I have to live?"
He then said, "It's all based on the length of time that God gives."
Then he said, "Not only do you have cancer but you HIV."
I looked and said, "You're just joking with me."
He replied, "No, I would never do that. What I'm telling you is true."
I yelled, "Oh God no!!!! Doc tell me what do I do."

Then I heard:
Believe.
Leave the  healing to me.
Have faith.
Do as my word say.
Know that you can handle this situation.
When in need, pick up your Bible and turn the pages.

Then I dried my face and a smile appeared.
My doc asked, "Why are you smiling from ear to ear?"
I said, "I ain't worried about those results cos my God got this."

I lived each of life's moments as God gave them to me.
Day in and day out, I didn't worry about the cancer or HIV.
I did as my God said and I left it all in His hands.
And when in need, I go to my Bible and get fed.

Though I'm in a situation most would be scared to be in.
I have faith and God has definitely taught me about believing.
