Momentarily I thought
I feel sorry now for me
Then in another moment asked
How selfish can I be?
I'm having quite an issue
With some cancers of the skin
Doctors scrape and cut on me
On the outside not on in
A little inconvenience
Some bandages and pain
A little scarring here and there
But mostly whole again
Haven't lost an arm or leg
A colon or a lung
Still can climb a ladder
And move from rung to rung
More fortunate than others
In radiation therapy
With chemo in addition
I was there once so you see
I'm grateful now for where I am
That I'm not there again
No cancer on the inside
But lesser cancers of the skin
Must take care of everything
That bears the cancer name
Never know which one could be
The ending of the game
Know that God is with me
Through each and every bout
By himself not cure everything
Has doctors here for helping out
