No Matter

No matter, what size you are,
No matter, your age or gender,
No matter, the team you support,
Cancer, is not a pretender!
No matter, your creed or colour,
No matter, what you do for a living,
No matter, if you eat healthy or not,
Cancer, is not forgiving!
No matter, if you're poor,
No matter, if you're rich,
No matter, if your life is full,
Cancer, is a *****!
No matter, what your dreams are,
No matter, what lies in wait,
No matter, who, what, where, why and when,
Cancer, does not discriminate!

Hello stranger! Long time no see! And you are right, we all have or know someone that suffers from this disease! Great write Kay! Rick.

Hey, you. It's good to hear from you :) I was venting. I read a story about a football fan losing his battle and a rival team's fan, said something nasty. It made me angry. Too many people are affected by this disease, I wanted to get a point across. Chat Soon. Kay
