This Cancer Is Just As Stubborn As You Are

Aunty, this cancer is just as stubborn as you are. But I won’t let you go. I’m gonna pull these Dark blue sheets Off your dormant dreams. I’m gonna trap your worries In little glass jars, aunty, And let them light up the room Like fireflies. I’ll use up all my savings To get you colored bandanas To cover that big stubborn head of yours Aunty, I love you I’ll sing you country songs Put a smile on that beautiful face of yours Dress up for a tea party in your bed Kiss you without that wig Covering your head Maybe it’s because we share The same warm brown eyes But aunty, I won’t let you go. I’ve got a paper bag with me Incase you get sick again But don’t you dare wear it on your head ‘cause this cancer isn’t who you are. You hear that aunty? Don’t you cry. I love you.
