I remember the words he said to me,
It seems like yesterday,
And as he looked into my eyes,
The room began to sway.
I felt my whole world crumble,
When he spoke the dreaded word,
I'm sorry, but you have cancer,
My fears were now confirmed.
Once the storm subsided,
I felt so strong inside,
I'll fight you to the very end!
You'll have no easy ride!
The treatment made me poorly,
At times I felt so low,
I faced the Devil inside me,
And vowed I'd never let go.
Ten years have gone,
My life moves on,
I cherish each precious day,
Now thankful for the little things,
Life gives, in every way.
