Face to Face with Cancer


What can I say about cancer? I looked to my friends and did not get the answer. It is scary and such a bad cry To watch your mom nearly die. I had to learn to take care of myself And put my feelings on a shelf. Even had to help my brother out In order to get him through his doubt. I learned that I was strong And that I had the strength to go on. I am thankful that she is okay Through the cancer I found my way. My passion, you see Will be in a hospital helping others flee From such a hard and frustrating line To a healthy life where they will be fine.
