While I Am Standing, Part One by Sabrina Calhoun

I am in the middle of this long battle; I don’t have much to say. I think I am conserving energy. But I write poetry as a form of encouragement for myself and for others who might be struggling as well. It somehow gives me more strength to continue to stand. I pray it does the same for you.

Hope Is Calling Me

I hear hope calling me from the future

I hear encouragement in its voice

Despite the destruction all around  me

It is saying, “All has not been lost.

There are still unrealized dreams

That cancer could not destroy

There are still uncharted parts of me

That are yet to be explored.”

It’s calling out to me 

That what I now see

 Is not the end

That there is beauty in my future

That I will rise again.
