Life suddenly taken out of your own hands
A journey taking you to undiscovered lands
Families becoming stronger uniting as one
Hoping and prayer that soon I will all be gone
Your greatest challenge, your toughest fight
Dark thoughts keeping you awake at night
The struggles, the turmoil that nobody sees
Another door to walk through without life’s keys
A writing blog gives you the chance to escape
Writing how you feel, the language takes shape
A message received and a friendship begun
One day we’ll meet up in the bright burning sun
Chemotherapy takes you to a place unknown
Your unenergetic body has finally flown
Each day a struggle, emotional and tired
Wishing to tell the cancer, “that’s it you’re fired”
Progress at last and a break on the horizon
Feeling better, your body is becoming less wizen
A loving smile back on your worn out face
Life so special now it’s time to embrace
Just like the wind life changes so quick
News approaches telling you you’re sick
Second stage and the cancer getting worse
Why were you stricken with this awful curse?
A tear for a friend who’s life has now passed
The love you showed will never be surpassed
The remaining three spent the day on the coast
Drinking malt whiskey and raising a toast
You stayed so strong right up to the finish
Your legacy lives and will never be diminished
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your story
May you always be crowned in inspiration and glory
