Cancer


You are a disgusting plague

You dare invade my mom?

Quiet, sneaky, spreading like wildfire

A formidable foe

Be gone, be cast out, never to return

She fights, she lives, she rejoices in triumph

She beat you, she won on the battlefield of disease

Now, we sing outloud, we give testimony

Spreading joy to the next woman who comes along

Hope, comfort, encouragement and....

Above all, Love
