Cancer
Cancer, I hate you with a deep passion
You took my dad not in a timely fashion
My dad was the backbone of our family
His absence left an aching need cavity
He held our family together with prayer
Away from Satan’s snare and hell’s fire
Then one day he was so terrible sick
We thought this must be a silly trick
The doctor said he had not much time
O no the family thought this is a crime
The best father there was down by cancer
Riding on a black horse this hated lancer
