As we go through our life
Many hurdles we do face
Life can be so unkind
In this strange human race

At this time in your life
So much pain you will endure
As you desperately seek answers
Surely, there must be a cure?

But cancer spreads so fast
And so helpless do we feel
Won't someone wake us up
This couldn't possibly be real

How helpless do I feel
As I know what you're going through
I just wish that there was
So much more that I could do

All I have to offer
Is the hand of a friend
With strong shoulders to lean on
That won't easily bend

My thoughts are with you
In your sad time of woe
I'll be here if you should need me
I just wanted you to know


DEDICATED TO MY DEAR FRIENDS, KATIE & JARROD
WHO ARE GOING THROUGH SUCH A DIFFICULT TIME

Thank you for being there for them.
My life has been touched by Cancer, trust me it really does help even though you think it may not be enough.
Prayers to you all.

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. I lost my own father to a form of lung cancer in May 1999 and it is just so hard to deal with losing someone so close and watching them waste away before your eyes.
Take care.....Sue
