A Mother’s Fear

by Sherry Lynn   May 28, 2005


A Mother’s Fear

It is a fear
I cannot describe
A nightmare as I watch
My son fight for life

He may have the “C” word
His pediatrician said
Causing my heart
To drop deep in my chest

He is only ten
How can this be
Please, no, do not let
This be happening

It will be a week or so
Before we know
But we will do our best
Just do not lose hope

I cannot do this
I refuse to give up
My son will survive
Cancer will not take his life!

    If this is about you..I wish you all the best. I know what it's like to have family members with cancer. Just seems like there is nothing you can do.
