This is for anyone going through this with family or friends.
My life with cancer is still my life; it brings with it all the trouble and strife
Most of the time I am in pain, but this is my lifetime and time and time again.
My life with cancer is not so good sometimes; it makes me in a terrible mood
Although at times I start to weep because of the pain, I do not sleep.
Life with cancer is a challenge for me, wanting it out and me to be free. I am
many days and nights in so much pain; sometimes I wonder if I can take the strain.
My life with cancer makes me irate, not sleeping much, staying up late; I sometimes
feel like a tramp and deadbeat, but I never want to admit defeat.
I want to beat cancer, whatever it takes, as in my life I have made so many mistakes
then everyone will see a brand-new me, and they will be pleased with what they see.
If things take a turn and they go bad, I think about the happy times family and friends have had
And if the angels call for me day or night, please do not worry;
I have gone to heaven.
I caught my last flight.
