Cancer

This poem is dedicated to my sister, Allie Alvstad (pron: stead) It's killing me inside to see you stuck in this hospital bed When I know you should be out on that softball field instead That aside, I've got nothing but love for you on this journey ahead If you love someone, please tell them, never leave anything unsaid Because the worst feeling has to be regret on your death bed We'll grow from this, were exactly where we need to be I'll be here by your side no matter what, unconditionally You're an inspiration to us all, that's plain for everyone to see And, there's so many lessons that you have already taught me Like, life is 10% what happens and 90% your mentality Because looking at you, I'd swear you're already cancer free I'll never take life for granted again, I'll only live deliberately And, I'll cherish every second, content to simply just "Be" I know you will beat this Al, that's a guarantee
