I do know that this is a very downward view of Cancer, and I do know that there are many, many survivors out there. This is not meant for them, and I applaud you in winning your fight against Cancer. I have lost three people, one of them being my grandfather who I was very close to. I tried many times to write a poem in his honor. One day, in class, I wrote this without even thinking about it. I was actually sitting there talking with one of my classmates. This is unedited. I ask for any constructive criticism.
