Pink Ribbon

I don't know what I'm thinking,
and i don't know what to say,
tomorrow will be different,
i cant bring back yesterday.
I took so much for granted,
Things like life, family and you.
I thought you were unstoppable-
its too unreal to be true.
The last 2 months have been a blur,
its happened all so fast,
You hear about cancer all the time,
"But it'll never happen to any of us!"
How can something so common,
Be so unknown to me?
I don't know the statistics,
And what it all means.
You've kept strong though,
I admire that. Your courage is they key.
Thank you for making jokes,
its made it easier on your family.
I sit here now as i write,
and i cry at what might be.
I'm scared to ask what your chances are,
The future i don't want to foresee.
I know you've bettered the odds,
By having the surgery,
But i hate the fact they told you,
If it returns - too bad- it was just meant to be.
You are not meant to die yet,
it just isn't your time,
You have your whole life left,
and i need you in mine.
Promise me you'll stay strong,
Promise me you'll fight,
You're my Hero Mum,
Beat the cancer - Please Survive.
