I used to be your baby, Daddy And you, my hero tall You'd never yell or hurt me, Daddy Just helped me o'er the wall When I fell and scraped my knees, Daddy You smiled and cleaned the blood And dancing in the rain, my Daddy We loved the splashing mud I grew a little stronger, Daddy I danced, now on my own Too fixed upon the nothing, Daddy To see the wrinkles sewn Can't go and change the past, oh Daddy, I'm crying deep inside Pretend the spot's not cancer, Daddy For you, I'm forced to hide My turn to pull you over, Daddy This wall that's seen before Be tough, and trust my strength, sweet Daddy I'm here to fight the war. |

Oh that's so sad. I recently found out that one of my good friends has cancer. It pains me to know he'll be gone before I can see his kids graduate. Ughh, I'm sorry, I can't really type more, but I hope things go ok "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." ~RFK |

that was really sorrowful. I liked it a lot tho, it really portrayed the story and your feelings very well! JR When my life dims to a perish, it will become a quote in itself... |

I thought that this was completely sad. Wonderful job though Carly. It was an amazing poem here. I simply loved it. If you'd like to talk about this, then let's! What a bro's for anyway?  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

This was indeed a sad one. My heart is with you Carly. Perhaps I can offer some inspiration. One of my good friends was diagnosed with cancer his junior year in HS and became very sick and very week. But after months of rest and treatment he was on the road to recovery and we were playing baseball together again our senior year. Today he has completely rid himself of cancer and has a full life to look forward to. He was very fortunate and I cry every time I think about what could have happened, but I hope that you will be able to tell a beautiful story like this one day. Again, my heart goes out to you and I wish you and your family the very best Stay strong Jason |
