Last night I was remembering the Muslim woman
\nat the cancer center<\/p>\n
who was always there the same time as I was
\nyears ago, free of cancer now<\/p>\n
though I never had a conversation with her
\nI worried about her<\/p>\n
she was emaciated and in a wheelchair
\nnever knew cancer put people in wheelchairs<\/p>\n
but, alas, many are the people in wheelchairs
\nfrom cancer<\/p>\n
I was worried about this woman because
\nI thought she looked close to dying<\/p>\n
she appeared to be in her early or late forties
\ntoo young, too soon, to leave this world<\/p>\n
one day she was no longer at the cancer center
\nat the same time I was<\/p>\n
I feared my observation about her dying had been right
\nbut to this day, I hope I had been wrong<\/p>\n
I hope her doctor just changed her appointment time
\nand that she lives cancer free today.<\/p>\n
