The word, "Cancer"
Perhaps the scariest
in the English language.
There's no easy way
to come to grips
with this deadly,
unforgiving disease.
It doesn't respect
age or gender.
Unimaginable
the tremendous damage
It inflicts
on the human body,
how it badly ages sufferers
physically.
Cruel, what it does
to one's spirit;
the excruciating pain
it causes
An absolute nightmare
of a disease!
Oftentimes,
it invades the body
unbidden
And wreaks havoc.
It claims
far too many lives
on a daily basis.
Not even non-smokers.
are immune.
The odds of surviving cancer
grim, if detected late.
But the good news is,
it's not an automatic
death sentence.
To anyone
battling cancer...
hold onto hope,
fight on!
With your support system
and God
right by your side
You'll beat it.
