My Cancer #2 by <strong>Lesley</strong><br />

You took my brother; you had no right<br />

But Max is with me throughout this fight<br />

Just a year after he had passed<br />

You cruelly took me in your grasp<br />

It’s seven long weeks since they cut you out<br />

My fight will continue, there is no doubt<br />

You won’t stop me fulfilling my dreams<br />

As I follow sunrise’s golden beams<br />

My scars are fading day by day<br />

And speech improving, I’m happy to say<br />

I’ll soon be eating without my PEG<br />

Just watch me as I forge ahead<br />

Perspective on my life has changed<br />

A cruise and sailing trips arranged<br />

You nearly took my life away<br />

But sunrise greets me as I start each day<br />
