Only You can time it so perfectly
One-week off schedule with my doc sickly
Then there’s the Lab needing repair
And a switch of hospitals without delay.

Through all that I depended on Your mercy
I wanted to cry, with the growing anxiety
Helplessness setting in, my head spinning
With each setback, with every mishap.

I was afraid, and You know it
I wasn’t used to feeling helpless and weak
With that last fainting spell, I knew
As morbid thoughts crossed my mind.

But at a certain point, You took over
Mishaps behind me, it flowed so easily
Happy with my doctor and the medical crew
Each so kindly, not one was grumpy.

In the nick of time, I heard quite clearly
The sedation didn’t cloud that perception
I shed tears when I heard my doctor murmur
We got it, just as that artery shut with a purr.

I still cringe over what could have been
Could have been nasty, yet You allowed me
Those solitary walks on the Camino
Traveling solo with much gusto.

You know what lies in the recesses of my heart
Waiting for You to restore me back, my Lord
Not just the body, but more in mind and spirit
As I tread a path in this Camino called Life.
