Cancer Free a Very Lucky Me

My future looked bleak 
I was extremely weak 
Riddled with cancer, my spirit was giving up 
Until a friend came to visit me and told me literally to 'shut up' 
Chemotherapy had made me worse 
It was not a medicine but a curse 
My friend cared for me for days on end 
Wrote e-mails to every cancer Specialist she could send 
One replied, he was eager to help  
I let out a half hearted yelp 
He studied my case intensively 
There was a cure to be cancer free 
It was expensive as to be expected 
But he too had once been infected 
He understood my pain 
Refused to use it to his gain 
He paid for my surgery 
Even for my recovery 
Today, I am a healthy man 
Now, I too make it a point to help everybody that I can!
