Cancer of the Colon
Cancer of the colon
I decided to go
In the back of my mind
I knew it was so
My mother died of it years ago
I wanted to see my children
Before I went in
Blood came again
I saw them on my birthday
I held them close that day
I saw them again the next day
Tears falling as they walked away
They had no idea what was going to happen
The next day I went in
I had to go then
They put me under
And all my fears came true
Oh what am I to do
I have cancer of the colon
It was now confirmed
I went under again the next morning
By mid afternoon I was through
All the Doctors and Nurses put me back together
Thanks to them all and God
I have no cancer
Thank you all and God
