Cancer

You have no friends among us.

You’re an enemy to all.

You cause suffering and pain

each time you come to call.

 

You attack at your discretion,

no matter young or old.

You have respect for no one.

You are cruel, mean and cold.

 

As you invade my body,

you will find my spirit strong.

I’ll fight with might, day and night,

regardless of how long.

 

Many, through the power of faith

and  prayer have beaten you.

Unless my God wants me home,

my faith will beat you too.
