For my friend with cancer. Unfortunately I'm sure a lot of you can relate.
Overflowing from my bank The unwelcome water seeping. To and fro and lurking still Into my soul it's creeping. Scourge this, be damned to you I have never asked this claim. I live my life Provide for many, leave me just the same. I watch over babes, provide sustenance too, Caring and warmth and love. Their thoughts and actions rebound to me. The grandest of God above. Be gone you scourge that is mine, Be gone you pestilence now! I will fight, I will win, cast you aside, And take no heed, no how. All have joined and all will love For all that I will give. I never stop to offer more and that is why I live. I live by this, from all of you To keep my spirits clear. With all of you around me, You give me strength... I have no fear.
