A cancer diagnosis, a heavy blow
Emotional trauma, hard to show
The fear, the doubt, the unknown ahead
A life disrupted, a path misread
A whirlwind of emotions, hard to contain
Anxiety, anger, and endless pain
A battle to fight, a war to wage
A journey ahead, a difficult stage
The tears that fall, the sleepless nights
The endless questions, the endless fights
The pain that lingers, the scars that remain
A heart that’s broken, a soul in pain
A support system, a vital aid
A hand to hold, a shoulder to braid
Love and care, a soothing balm
A light in the darkness, a healing calm
A will to live, a hope to cling
A heart that beats, a song to sing
A warrior’s spirit, a strength to rise
A life to cherish, a hope that lies
In the end, a lesson learned
A journey that forever burned
A life that’s precious,
a love that’s true
A battle won, a life renewed.
