Raul Moreno Poet Quatrain

The Best of Me

I can’t believe I’m leaving,
I can’t believe the news.
When you least expect it,
Cancer gets the best of you.

There’s so much to live for,
And so much I didn’t see.
I was wishing for a cure;
My dreams I will never be.

This isn’t the first loss,
Cancer came to take.
I’ve wished for many nights,
That this was a mistake.

I wished upon a star,
That I could live happy.
In the middle of my dreams,
Cancer got the best of me.




For the millions of lives cancer takes away from us yearly!

Elizabeth Neal November 20, 2008 at 9:45 AM and live with it until their time comes. Thanks for sharing this poem. I have a deeper understanding of this disease due to the perspective you wrote it from Love Elizabeth

Elizabeth Neal November 20, 2008 at 9:43 AM The message behind this piece is deep and touching. We spoke about cancer today and this poem was in my mind the entire time. It made me sad to know what one goes through when they are told they aren't going to live that long. Life is uncertain but death is sure and not knowing seems to be the best way to face it. But there are those who have to face it-

Robin L. Gass November 20, 2008 at 7:16 AM So sad, so true. I don't think I know anyone whose lives haven't been touched by this disease in one way or another. Thank you for your wonderful comment. I prayed for God to help me and he lead me to Poetrysoup. Thanks again Raul. God bless, Robin

Michael Torres November 20, 2008 at 3:19 AM I plan o writing a poem about the truth. I will probably get of this sight for a while . It's been very difficult time for me but God will get me through this. I love you and If and when I leave I will give you my email address. God bless you and your's with love Michael Torres

Michael Torres November 20, 2008 at 3:15 AM Raul this is so real and true touching and sad. Raul your prayer made me cry. I guess it was a God sent prayer from you. You are a blessing and a loving christain man. I am dealing with so much pain in my soul and heart . Your prayers were a healing grace. Thank you so much for you generous time and love that you have given me I haven't been able to comment on your poem's as much because of this trauma that Im resolving within myself. You are an angel like the many people here on this sight.

Elizabeth Neal November 19, 2008 at 2:28 PM This is nice, I lost somebody from cancer and it really touches me and I wrote a poem kind of like this. This really puts it into perspective of a person going through this.
