In The Valley of Shadows

Posted On April 10, 2023

In the Valley of Shadows, a story unfolds,

Of a life interrupted, a tale to be told,

A journey commencing, the dark path begins,

A whisper of danger lurks deep in the skin.

With trembling hands, the news was received,

A diagnosis that rattled, a soul that grieved,

For within the body, a foe lay concealed,

A sinister presence, its intent revealed.

Yet amidst the darkness, a spark of hope gleamed,

A beacon of courage, as the battle was deemed,

The fight of a lifetime, a warrior’s quest,

To vanquish the invader, to lay it to rest.

The path was treacherous, as fear took hold,

A burden relentless, a story untold,

Through valleys and mountains, the warrior strode,

With love and support, their strength was bestowed.

The days grew heavy, as the battle waged on,

The body grew weary, the spirit felt drawn,

The poison of treatment, the double-edged sword,

A cure and a curse, a bond to be forged.

As the seasons shifted, and the earth spun around,

The whisper grew quiet, a soft dying sound,

The sinister presence, that once held the reins,

Began to surrender, as hope’s light sustained.

Through the fire and the storm, the warrior emerged,

A phoenix reborn, as the darkness submerged,

The battle now over, a new chapter began,

In the realm of remission, a life to re-plan.

With scars etched upon them, a badge of their fight,

A symbol of victory, a testament to their might,

The journey remembered, in each breath that they drew,

A constant reminder, of the battles they’d rue.

In the Valley of Shadows, a story unfolds,

Of resilience and bravery, a tale to be told,

A journey transcending, from darkness to light,

A cancer survivor, reborn through the fight.
