Cancer Is


Cancer is more than a six-letter word

A lifetime in a day


Cancer is the puzzle

That doesn’t have a way


Cancer is the window

That lets in the cold air


Cancer is the darkness

Without a light to spare


Cancer is a book

With a binding made of tears

And pages full of memories

Of the ones you’ve loved for years
