My Light Will Shine Brighter

Mommy always says that she believes that God was listening

To a pretty epic song whilst He was busy creating me

'Cause you can still hear the beat of the drums

Echoing in the innocence of my laughter

Until you aggressively stormed into my perfect symphony and caused discord

Distorting every note in my life,

Creating havoc, fear and shock

All I want to do is live life - play each instrument to the fullest

All you want to do is attack, break, and steal - leaving me at my weakest and most vulnerable

You are making my piano sound dull and inharmonious

Each time the hammer hits the keys, sounding pain and fever

My vigorous tempo is becoming weak and frail

Causing me to lose all rhythm

Like a mallet attacks a xylophone for a brighter tone

You are attacking and grating my skeleton

Just as I got accustomed to the cuts and bruises on my fingertips from the guitar strings

I had to adjust to the pain of needles, my body filled with bruises and scars

Did you know a violin bow loses its hair after months of creating a melodious shows?

Because of you, I have lost my hair even before I had a chance to play a violin

There is something I need to tell you, you uninvited thief

You might steal my innocence and break my smile

You might even try to steal my body since your existence is very hostile

But Cancer,

You will never be able to take my soul

That belongs only to my Saviour, my Maestro, Conductor of all conductors

Jesus Christ

I have handed over the baton back to Him

I shall not fear, I shall not be dismayed - that I've learned from my favourite hymn

Whilst He is busy composing and conducting my symphony

I know I am loved and protected by The Holy Trinity

My light will shine brighter than ever before

As He was, is and always will be in control

Isaiah 41:10
