Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Life Or Death

Saved by the skill of the surgeon’s knife
All we prayed is that he spared your life
Fortunately the cancer has been removed
Every faith in the surgeon has been proved

Cancer is a scourge across our nation
Most cancers are caused by gene mutation
We face this disease with fear and trepidation
Yet new research brings great innovation

Your cure is a source of inspiration
We celebrate our lives with jubilation
Every day on earth is a celebration
Our death will lead us to our salvation

Angels are awaiting all ascending to the afterlife
Whilst I remain on earth this day, I hope and pray
Your good health will stay, with the cancer cut away -
Saved by the skill of the surgeon’s knife
