Une très mauvaise nouvelle,
Ma petite sœur Anne,
Qui avait survécu à un cancer du sein,
il y a une dizaine d’années,
Fait un cancer de l’autre sein,
La vie est très injuste,
Elle est médecin, soigne les gens
Du mieux qu’elle peut.
J’ai eu envie de pleurer,
En apprenant la nouvelle,
Mais elle est plus courageuse que moi,
Elle ne craint pas les chimiothérapies,
Elle a décidé de se battre à nouveau.
A very bad news,
My little sister Anne,
Who had survived breast cancer,
About ten years ago,
Has cancer in the other breast,
Life is very unfair,
She is a doctor, heals people
As best she can.
I felt like crying,
Upon hearing the news,
But she is braver than me,
She is not afraid of chemotherapy,
She decided to fight again.
Living alone this Twenty-Twenty year,
I truly cannot help feeling so sad.
Although I know that many hold me dear,
I need friends near, to be happy and glad.
While waiting, I mark my plans on a pad.
We're trying to do what those in charge say.
Our lives have all changed in such a big way.
To some the illness has brought great sorrow.
When this disease goes, a much brighter day
We'll all look for a better tomorrow.

TIME IN A CAGE
If we could ever stop time make it stay
Hold it firm put barricades around it
And somehow not just let it fly away
Would all clocks of the world forget to tick
Or the big round earth come to a stand still
Would we remain youthful never grow old
And blooming buds put forever on hold
Statue like cosmos in a state of freeze
No dawn no dusk same season to behold
With no birth nor death, life's journey would cease...
