No Cure


I'm only 10 years old and my world is going to change

They tell me my sister has cancer and its not a common range

Our family fights with her and sometimes for her, we want her pure

But the outcome is not what we hoped for there is no common cure

My family is turned upside down, many times I am forgotten

They are to busy caring for her it stinks, it really is rotten

Gone are my happy childhood days, I've had to grow up fast

Now she's pure again, I pray the grieving doesn't last
