A Perspective of Cancer
Dread news silent face
She turned her eyes to heaven
Sharing earth's sad waste
Fear choking the unspoken
The prayer howls for fresh grace
Time crumbles heavily now
She waits diseased, and unbowed
2
Sister gone, I still
In love recalls wound and strength
That savaged our will
I bore most who loved you most
In weakness trembling my thoughts
How sin could wrought upon us
This dire malady in dust
3
I offer you all
A hand who tremble to bare
The indignant gall
Of cancer flooding our stare
A dear in the headlights glare
I tremble with you, its all
Each is alone gainst this wall.
