Best Summer of My Life
Cancer
A word no one likes to hear
It’s filled my life
Taught me lessons of love and dying
Taught me about myself
Cancer
It brings families together, or breaks them apart
Or it can do both.
Cancer
A word that can change everything
It filled my summer, made it better
Brought me happiness and fun
Brought some much needed time
Cancer
It gave me a new best friend, and
Gave me back my grandma.
Cancer
A word that can bring laughter
It filled my heart, helped me love
Showed me what it truly means to live
Showed me to enjoy my time
Cancer
It brings some trips to the hospital,
And itchy skin.
Cancer
A word that can drain you
It filled my time, especially at night
Strained my muscles and left me tired
Strained my emotions
Cancer
It always supplies much family time,
And many chances to learn the family secrets
Cancer
A word that brings hope
It filled the prayers of hundreds around the world
Supplied a way to build and move on
Supplied a second chance
Cancer
It brings about long tiresome days,
And screaming Kenny Chesney in the car.
Cancer
A word that is no longer foreign to me
It filled me with a desire
Needed to find a place, any place to help
Needed to try to make up for lost time
Cancer
Most times it brings death,
But it can also bring new life and a great summer.
