Fighting Back
Oh to have the tender touch of her hand upon my shoulder
That sweet hug on those never ending days
The calming effect of her voice to tell me everything would be okay
Her joy was contagious and could light up a room
We laughed we cried and all those lasting memoires abide
What took her was evil and is still on its path
It has tried to be stopped but continues in its wrath
From the day that we knew the cancer was there
Her days were numbered
And days became minutes before she heard the heavens sound
Death has no mercy on the ones we hold dear
Watching her die my biggest fear
As she fought the fight and took her final breath
It chooses its prey and attacks with no mercy
She fought it so hard but it wouldn’t let her go
The swords of the most intelligent were thrown at it but it didn’t help
No man in this time has yet to defeat it with every punch
But with my heart and soul no more destruction will it cause
It tears families apart limb from limb
Then it hits the next victim without blinking an eye
The more I learn the more I hate it
Each day I come closer to my final goal
To take this monster out coldly, and leave it no were to run
It isn’t all powerful and it won’t always win
So with all my might I will fight so it can no longer be able to seek revenge
