Tears run down your face.
How could this happen to you?
What do you tell your family now?
There is no worse news
You have an illness
They cannot cure
Your heart breaks
With only one word
Cancer
But you hold your head up
You never show your pain
You smile now
This is not your ball and chain
You live each day
Like it is you last
Each sense more intense
In a world so vast
You look back and smile
You wouldn't change a thing
Not one word
Or the love you bring
When you are gone
Your memory will live on
And we will remember
The night is darkest before the dawn
One day there will be a cure
Things will be better than before
Living life to the fullest
And loved ones will die no more
