Many battles I have fought
With no one there who really cares
Your shoulders are strong
Your hands ever gentle
As you hold me close
Giving me the strength to carry on

Lost at the bend
Don't know which way to go
Your guidance has lead me
To the path that I must take
At times I stumble over the rocks and twigs
A path worn down from many treks

You have picked me up time and again
Never once have you mentioned
The sorrow that you feel
For the condition that I am in

The cancer is there
It won't go away
I won't let it win
I won't won't give in

This is awesome.
I can relate so well,as I have been very ill and recovering.
Your writing here is excellent.

You know, my father passed from Cancer in 1993.  It was sad, but at the same time, because of this I've come to see some real triumphs over cancer in my days.  It can be done.  You definately have the right attitude, and all my prayers.

I have had friends recover from various forms of cancer, it can be done.  With your attitude you have a good head start on it.
We should all take this poem as an example and not let anything negative in our lives kill or destroy us.  You'll be in my prayers ((HUGS))
