Heartbreak
Two months ago,
I experienced true heartbreak
for the first time, because
my dear grandfather
suffered a severe stroke,
losing function in his entire left side.
Twenty-six days ago,
I experienced even greater heartbreak when
the man dearest to my heart,
my dad,
was diagnosed with cancer.
Heartbreak is a funny thing, you see, for it always passes by.
Two months and nine days later,
my grandfather
is nearing the declaration of a complete recovery.
Twenty-six days later, and
my wonderful dad
is a colon cancer survivor and is
cancer free.
Heartbreak is a funny thing, you see, for it...
always
passes
by.

My inspiration for this poem was the strength and determination of my dad and grandfather to get well. Another reason I chose this topic was to glorify God for His unfailing love and mercy.
