The Kid With Cancer

I wrote this a while back in honor of a friend who had cancer and survived.

One kid,

One kid diagnosed with cancer,

And now he's waiting,

He's simply waiting for answers,

The come,

They come and give him his answer,

"You are dying."

Then his parents start crying.

He smiled,

He smiled and said,

"World, don't let it go to your head,

I'll find a way,

And alive, I will stay."

It's always delightful to hear a story of a cancer survivor. When the parents learn the news they immediately think, "How will we handle the grief when he passes?" As a parent that would be MY first thought, my kneejerk reaction. The survival arrives gradually and the parents relief is cautiously optimistic, while the cancer victim feels unabashed triumph. A very nicely written story/poem. take caer...dan

Such a sad, but strong poem. It really sends a message of encouragement to other kids with cancer.

Beautiful and sad. So much strength for one child to bare and so much heart ache for parents.
Very powerful with a wonderful message behind it
