Not Cancer

‘Cancer is not for me!’ June screamed This is the nightmare that she dreamed Staring at her reflection in the mirror For this to happen is her worse fear Maintaining her attractive thin waist Dressing in style with impeccable taste Mountain hiking working up a heart rate An all-natural healthy diet she ate Alaska where air is clean winter is wet More than unlikely for her to expect Anything other than feeling her best Certainly not a lump on her breast For her family it was devastating to hear For her it was sad and crystal clear Now a soul lost in the feeling of doom On a gray cloud not present in the room Opening a brewery her new life adventure A future of health and wealth not cancer Married her true love career on the rise Onlookers see peace and love in their eyes June and Stephen’s love is concrete Because of their bond this will be beat Forget lost hope forget lost faith With each other cancer has no face Their true love will conquer and destroy With positive thought it will bring back joy Remember the indisputable power of each kiss And all that will remain in the future is bliss
