A poem I wrote today... Unwelcome caller... This dreaded thing called cancer knocked upon our door one day. We tried to say that we're not home, so sorry,go away! But cancer wouldn't listen,uninvited in it came. We knew that from that moment on, our lives were not the same. Cancer then got settled, and made itself at home It decided to take a look around and have a little roam. "Please don't," we said, to no avail , it seemed it didn't hear Took over every part of life, everything that we held dear. "Get out!", we said. "Please go away, we wish we'd never met" It seemed to laugh and say to us, "you ain't seen nothing yet!" We knew that it was here to stay,there was only one thing to do, "If we can't get rid," we said to it, "then we have to live with you!" So we share our lives with cancer, and we've learnt to get along Its not a guest that we would chose, but it's taught us to be strong. And every day that passes, we gather friends along the way We may have cancer in our lives, but we're living for today!!! By Sharonxx
