This day is dark,
A question without answer,
Why my friend Mark,
Had to die from cancer.

A vibriant young man,
So strong, athletic,
But then cancer began,
So cruel and pathetic.

His children are left,
Without a dear Dad,
A vicious theft,
Makes us all sad.

Mark, rest in peace,
Thanks for being a friend,
Your memory will not cease,
'Til we meet once again.

Dennis, I am sorry for your loss, and for the family of your friend. Your poem as a tribute is a wonderful portrait of what a friend he was.

Dennis,
So sorry for your loss.  A good friend of mine also has a poem about cancer.  In fact, he told me he was going to post it.

I'm sorry for your loss as well, Dennis. We often don't know the 'why' of these things, they certainly don't seem to have a rhyme or reason. This is a lovely tribute to your friend.

Dennis,
My heart goes out to you my brother & his caring friend, and for the loved ones he left behind.  You poem is very touching-  sad--but also high note sounded of a friendship ended prematurely due to seemingly merciless causes of cancer.  God bless you in your heart ache and loss this day,   David
