"On Receiving 'The Call'"

Not sure just what it means, O Lord,
This call to see the doc;
Results from lab work’s biopsy,
And if I’ll face “the walk”.

Lord, I’m not up to one more round,
Or six, or ten, or more;
I guess it’s best I find out now,
At least I’ll know the score.

I had not thought that much of this,
Along skin-cancer’s way;
But maybe it is something else,
As now I face the day.

Lord, carry me – can’t walk this walk
One day – at least not weeks;
Whatever lies at end of day,
I guess I’ve had a peak.

“Stay open to the others, Stu,
Just like you did before;
“New normal” is reality –
I’ll keep you through each door.”

Thanks Lord, I needed that (oh, heck!) –
You’ve got it covered now;
Thanks for Your team who stand by yet,
’Till all’s fulfilled somehow.

Thanks Lord for this.
