Radiation
Radiation they said, could be deadly
if used right, it may save your life
That tumor you have, that's on your left lung
cannot be removed with a knife
They said it is pressed, very close to your heart
with even a "nick" you could die
There's only one option, it has to be nuked
five doses turned up really high
Side effects? Yes there can be many
and continue for more than a year
Making you think, you are still on the brink
and you just can't get rid of the fear
Your mind must be occupied daily
with distractions that take you away
You lay down to sleep and reality's back
this is the time you can pray
Uninterrupted you take all your prayers
and keep them close by in your mind
Use them to carry you through the next day
your prayers may be answered you find.....
