Cancer Doesn'T Care
Cancer Doesn’t Care -by Rick Sawyer (written in 2013)
Cancer doesn’t care…
About the dreams you’ve had… or the plans you’ve made..
Or the tears that fall… on a loved-one’s grave..
-Of the hearts that break… of the songs unsung..
Or the friends that pass… with the setting sun…
Cancer doesn’t care…
About who you are… or what you’ve seen…
-Of what you think you know… or where you’ve been…
Or the time it steals… from our longing grasp…
-Of the deepest wounds… that will never pass..
Cancer doesn’t care…
About a heart that’s free… in a life beyond…
Or the phoenix cry… who has found it’s song..
-Of a laughing child… in his Father’s arms..
Where there is no pain… nor fear of harm..
Cancer doesn’t care…
As he rages on… with all his might…
And his anger swells… in this stubborn fight
For he knows he’s beat… and we all know why..
For he cannot kill… what can never die…
