A Happy Cancer By: Noel N. Villarosa Sadness invades a glowing life Agitation of what comes next after the fact The beginning of all ends in cancer’s strife Life to death, we fear of the day to be exact But there are chances to replace the peril To yield oneself to the power of God’s glory We live each day to the fate of going until Hiatus for some time and serve the hospice as another journey A chance to mingle with relatives and friends And share happy moments to tide over hardship A chance to smile and express the beauty at its ends And show a positive outlook to thwart the phantom of death A chance to join the crusade to search for the cure To talk and comfort other cancer patients Bring back juvenile act to escape discomposure And live with someone by your side to listen Don’t wait but give the fight to survive There is treatment by enduring chemotherapy Or take the chance of trying other alternatives Rather than living in the shadow of sympathy Travel to places to meet your pleasure Explore and challenge oneself to a new horizon That will give you space for new treasure To prove your will that you can still join the marathon Be inspired by the testimony of others That there’s a chance to alter gloomy to glory And if by heart, they live to stay another year Let them be called not survivors, but cancer conquerors In their smile, we can see the triumph by winning each day A happy cancer Written and posted also in voicesnet.com poetry site: 24 November 2009
