Count Your Blessings by Nancy D. Wednesday, January 21, 2004 Share Print Save Become a Fan My friend Steve needs our prayers for a miracle, he has cancer throughout his body. May God Bless You All. Thought I would stop in to say hello Only to find your not at work I was told your in the hospital My only thought was to be with you So to the hospital I drove Walking down the hall to his room Entering his room not knowing what I will see Three bags of medicine dripping into his veins A strong man weakened from this disease As I pull the curtain back he sees its me, he gives me a smile from ear to ear As sick as he is he gets out of bed And greats me with such a warm hug You shouldn't be out of bed I say He says for now you are the best medicine I could receive We sat and talked openly about his cancer From his waist down he has trippled in size How the tumors are eating his insides Holding my hands he then looked at me He said with a smile I'm happy and truly blessed I have a wonderful wife that loves me Six beautiful children that I love Friends like you that care about me God has blessed me with so much in life I looked at him eyes filled with tears As he wiped my cheek He said don't cry for me I want you to be happy Just the way I am And most of all count your blessings Nancy 01/21/04
