A poem from our daughter

  • CANCER CAN'T 

    Your world has been turned upside down. 
    How can one word cause so much harm? 

    That scary word that starts with C 
    that no one wants to hear 
    has snuck it's way into your life 
    ...now how can that be fair?? 

    Why me? you ask 
    Why us? she says 
    How can this all be true? 
    You were so well and suddenly it's knocked you back for two. 

    This cancer thing it won't beat you 
    You're stronger than it is 
    It's just a word that starts with C 
    Let's tell it as it is! 

    That big, bad C can't cripple love 
    nor can it shatter hope 
    Your faith in life it can't corrode 
    your friendships it can't touch 

    Your peace it cannot eat away 
    nor shut your memories out 
    It can't destroy your confidence 
    Your courage it can't reach 

    Your life shall not be lessened by the whisper of one word 
    Your soul is far too lively to be invaded by this hurt 

    So when you're feeling that you're losing 
    just remind yourself again 
    the winner here is always you 
    as simply... 

    Cancer Can't.

    Knowledge is power.
