Cancer can creep upon us

When we least expect it to

No one is ever ready

Nor do we know quite what to do.

It is hard for the unaffected

To give any kind of advise

But If you've seen a love one suffer

So much they sacrifice.

Watching the pain that's endured

As they pray and as they cry

Begging with hope to live one more day

So scared that they will die.

As we watch the transitions

Loss of hair and sallowed skin

Eye's sunk in and full of pain

Healthy body now weak and thin.

Aware prognosis may not be good

Yet there are survivors statistics show

Faith and prayer sometimes see them through

When it's time God takes us all we know.

I have seen heroes far and wide

Survival is the key

Those who struggle with cancer

Are the real heroes to me.

Never give up no matter what

Prayer brings forth miracles too

So put yourself in the arms of our Lord

He will take care of you.
