The Cruelest Irony of Cancer Ja Pointed Out Ever So Succinctly

Is the cruelest of all cancers ironies ?

Not that it is to be met 
or end in death ?

Nor the suffering the disease itself
inflicts ?

On both the terminal and those left ?

But rather how it brings us together
than ever before ?

Unfortunately to late ?

And how the every day to day things we 
once found a chore or mundane we
have since ironically learned to cherish ?

This poem is written in gratitude and 
thanks to a comment posted by
J.A on what is really precious
and worth valuing in life
