No Cancer In Heaven

By Michael J. Falotico The disease covers and takes over the mind and body.. Friends and family members gather and support with love and compassion.. Now God has taken the soul to be by his side till our family is joined again.. RIP...~Dad and Dianna~

So many people are dying from this cruel disease, Michael. Yes, there will be no more cancer or any other horrible disease in heaven/ well penned!

Dear Michael, two of my dearest friends died young from cancer and your poem brought tears to my eyes. I expect to be reunited with them one day and see them not as the appeared as the disease took its toll, but as they did when they were healthy. If this is for the sijo contest, it's surely a winner. Goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn

It's a very hopeful way to see it.. I just came from my sisters funeral... and I know one day we will meet again... not the brightest ... but always at her best... and I think God saw it he took her by his side.. leaving her young ones alone... he better have a good reason... for that... I pray its to.give us hope and faith... a very touching poem.as.you can see... always ...p.d.
