Cancer Sucks.

I remember when her voice cried,

Her words through my heart cried,

"Hold me close, Hold me tight.

Don't let this foul thing win this fight.

I'm losing my strenght,

I'm losing it all.

And I fear too soon

My hopes will fall."

I wish I could kiss away her tears

I wish I could fight away her fears.

Her hopes were strong

But her knees were weak,

To stand in this battleground

To fight this aweful disease.

The cancer spread

Like fire in a street

And all too soon

She was awaiting her defeat..

She left for paradise,

I deplore her death.

I couldn't save her,

Despite of all the wealth.

I still hear her voice

Echoing in the walls of my head.

"I love life daddy, 

I love it but cancer sucks."

Uggh, you're making me sniffly in class! :) Seriously, though, I agree with your Author's Note: this poem may not be the greatest piece of writing ever, but the heart behind it shines through perfectly.
