Enemy Leukemia

Enemy Leukemia
waging war in my body
as enemy combatant,
adversary to my life.
Never to my soul.

Leukemia cells live and live and live...
incapable of dying.
accumulating and destroying my body,
taunting and teasing my mind.
Never touching my soul.

Stealth in its abilities
to dodge weapons of
chemotherapy destruction;
evading the smart bomb.
Never stealth and covert to my Father.

Just one stealth cell thriving
in marrow or blood;
one cell.
Remission is stolen;
life is shortened on this earth.
Never touches my eternal life.
