ANOTHER KIND OF STORM

by Lewis E. Thomas

ANOTHER KIND OF STORM

 
In September of 2018 my ENT Specialist discovered a cancerous tumor in my throat!
This health storm has really rocked my boat!
 
But, it has caused me to get "closer" to my God!
For that, I thank Him, though sinners would deem that crazy and odd!
 
We take many "little things" for granted that we never give God thanks for in "LIFE'S RACE"!
Like being able to "taste" and "enjoy" a simple hotdog without it causing pain to twist our face!
 
Tomorrow I will have my 15th radiation treatment towards a total of 35 on my throat per my doctors orders!
As the Strange looking Radiation Machine shines green lasers on my throat to keep the radiation beam within precise borders!
 
After treatment number 7 my taste for food was taken from me by the radiation beam!
"Will someone wake me up, I know, I must be having a nightmare or a bad dream!"
 
I sit here tonight at now 12:10am!
I sit here in the shadows praying to Him!
 
I said, Lord, it hurts when I "swallow" my food!
And Lord, everything I eat now tastes horrible and crude!
 
Lord, I have learned that losing my taste for food is another, "different kind of pain"!
And I believe it's trying to drive me insane!
 
Most folks suffering the usual pain in these bodies that we feel...
Still have the pleasure of being able to taste a delicious Thanksgiving or Christmas meal!
 
But, radiation therapy on the throat hits one with a double "RIGHT HOOK"!
"NOTHING TASTES GOOD, NO MATTER WHAT IS COOKED!"
 
Lord, when I get my taste back I will never ever take it for granted again!
I will thank and praise you for the precious gift of "TASTE" time after time and again!
 
Oh Lord, help me to "endure" this physical "STORM" that I am now in!
"And Lord, I praise you now for that day when my precious "Gift of Taste" returns to me once again!"
