Surviving Cancer: Poetry and Prose

By Frederick Douglas Harper

Surviving Cancer: Poetry and Prose reflects the author's recent experiences as a cancer survivor and how cancer changed his worldview as an aging elder. Dr. Harper's poetry and prose address his cancer treatment experience and his even greater disposition of humility from and appreciation of blessings during his lifetime-a life of serving and creating for the good of others. Featured poems and prose in this book include "Cancer: A Sweet-and-Sour Experience," "A Tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg" (who died from cancer), "Announcement of My Cancer to Friends and Family on Facebook," "God Had My Back," "A Hospital Visitor," "Life with Healthcare," "Trail of Tears: Forced Removal of Native Americans," "A Child's Nightly Prayer," and "We Are All God's Children." The author's purpose in all of his creative writings over the years has been to educate, therapize, enlighten, and inspire his readers.
