Sweet Coraline

You were dealt a bad hand
Cancer was never grand 
The day you turned thirty 
The call came in ten times the hurty
You were quite brave 
And new how to behave 
You said that it was fine 
That was your approach sweet Coraline 
The battle was not as easy 
But there you stood strong even when queasy
You never got to dance with your dad
He made the best of what you had 
Never easy to take it all in 
But you said I'm fine, cards dealt, I win
As the last words, you spoke 
Superman broke
