Cancer
Coming home from the doctor
telling your grandchildren you will miss them
never seeing them grow up and have kids of their own
Cancer on your back
dictating how long you live
pain in your heart for the fear of dying
Laying in bed wondering if this will be your last breath
memories of the times you once had
your heart slows down as you drift off to sleep
the cancer taking you away
no longer in the enveloping pain
times were hard but now your set free
Cancer has taken your life
But your spirit is set loose on the world that you once lived
the tears your family has shed are all dry
memories of you will last forever
we will miss you forever and ever
but when your gone we will still love you
Cancer has taken you away from me
but remember that when you go
a part of you isn't yet free
and that part is the memories you will leave behind
