Survivor
You weren't angered when you got the news.
You didn't even shed a tear.
You held your head way up high,
And faced it without fear.
You found the strength to comfort us,
In your time of need.
Never showed a sign of weakness.
You never looked for pity.
You've endured the pain of radiation;
Prevailed through each agonizing day.
Suffered through countless medications,
And triumphed along the way.
With the support of family and friends,
And your unwavering faith in God.
You've survived what cancer brought into your life,
And beat all of the odds.
