Cancer is a pale dark word
The kind we never want to find
Yet it comes when it is time
Even if we refuse to look behind
My daughter, she’s a strong girl
I know she’ll make it through
surgery and post-op chemo
With will power, she’ll pull through!
Though tender is her age
her smiles overcome the pain
leaving everything to fate
her hope will never melt in rain
And when she becomes a doctor
She’ll let her patients know
the cold of winter mornings
will melt under the sun’s glow
