Our Love Will Always Be Stronger Then Cancer

I'll never forget watching the color drain from your face the day you were diagnosed
I turned into a ghost myself, it's one of the days I hated the most
Dreadful were the thoughts of seeing you suffer
Yet, the willpower you showed was so much tougher 
Your body was weak, the the cancer was taking its toll
Who would have thought something like this would have become of a mole?
The chemo treatments made you so sick
My head was spinning,it all happened so quick 
I felt so helpless and shocked, this couldn't be real
I was so saddened you always seem to get the raw end of the deal 
Oh dear Lord please spare the one I love
Please shine down some hope and strength from up above
I wanted so badly to take away all of your pain
There was so much to lose and nothing to gain
This awful disease was slowly killing you 
I was never quite as strong as you and tried to hide that it was killing me too
You were in remission,but the cancer came back
Through it all I was amazed by the beautiful smile you were still able to crack 
You fought your battle so hard for so long
Yet, your heart still danced to a beautiful song
You were a beautiful soul both inside and out
Strong, brave and courageous described you without a doubt 
There was nothing about any of this that was at all fair
Unfortunately,cancer doesn't seem to care
No one will ever really understand why
Once a colorful butterfly now as a beautiful angel you spread your wings and fly high
I prayed so hard for a different answer 
In life and in death our love will always be stronger then cancer
