Cancer

Hate does not nearly explain what one feels When "cancer" strikes and life's joys it steals Randomly it comes to the young and old So often before life's stories are told God's reasons cannot be understood Faith commands the bad and the good I sit by his bedside and hold him tight Easing his passing with all of my might Sometime soon we may find the answer To this horrible scourge called cancer

O dear! Wish we could eradicate this awful thing from our lives and our loved ones, but it so happens that it strikes anyone it wishes at the very core of their being and leaves everyone in a hurting state. So sad, but a great expressive write. One love. Joy Wells
