"I'm facing my biggest fear,"
He said to me.
I was already hurting.
These words I did not need to hear.

"How does it feel to see me this way?"
He asked of me.
Hurt for him is what I felt.
"Sad" was all I could say.

The man with whom I could run 10 miles
And scale mountain peaks
Now, struggled to walk a few feet.
Memories of such days, now, did not bring smiles.

Seeing my dad weak and in pain,
Hurts me too much.
But though this is hard to bear,
I know our faith will not wane.

Through this fight for his life,
I'll be by his side,
And praying to my Lord:
"Comfort us. Save my father's life."

What outcome lies ahead for us?
It's beyond my control.
I simply do not know.
So in our Lord and Savior we place our trust.
