Listen to poem:
I could rage I could cry but what’s the use do I hate cancer for what it did to us? you bet! it robbed us blind it left a gaping hole an emptiness that’s inescapable truth is I’d rather live with the void of you than whitewash any of your love no, we didn’t let cancer get the best of us we refused to live in fear we managed to treasure every moment let go of all regrets forever I’ll keep your memory alive ‘cause in my heart you’ll always be I have so much to do before it’s time but no matter when or where I will be ready adorned in my finest gown with flowers in my hair for you to take my hand and walk me down the aisle that glorious second time AP: 2nd place 2021 Submitted on June 1, 2021 for contest CANCER IVY sponsored by CHANTELLE ANNE COOKE

Oh Line, i cried my eyes out with this poem. My dad died in our arms at home - a man of 90 kilos, ravished by this horrible illness until he weighed 46 kilos and was a mere skeleton. A sad wonderful write. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
