Cancer


Cancer steals,

Cancer steals a lot,

Cancer steals hair,

Cancer steals childhoods,

Cancer steals lives,

 

Cancer tried to steal,

Tried to steal Mom,

Tried to steal Grandpa,

 

Breast Cancer and Sarcoma tried to take Mom,

Liver Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Prostate Cancer tried to take Grandpa,

 

Cancer took their hair,

But Cancer didn’t take their Hope,

 

Cancer tells children to grow up,

Cancer makes children grow up,

 

I grew up,

Cancer took hair,

But Cancer didn’t steal Hope,

Cancer failed to steal Mom and Grandpa
