​​​​​​​​dancing in & out of this battle with cancer’s tight grip, shaken and rattled, trying hard not to slip

with so many given up or given in, counting your days as you deal with the pain within, seeking a better way

longing for time with family and friends, putting things together before the coming end, ever hopeful of another family gather

everyone offering thoughts, prayers and support to assist in this battle, comfort of any sort as you go through your personal chattel 

with knowledge of the fight, with family at your side, you decide not tonight, in for the long ride

following advice of doctors and survivors, set free this vice, let not cancer be life’s driver

the battle is rough, you feel weak but we know you’re tough, the future doesn’t have to look bleak 

fight with everything you own and outrun set the battle zone, because my friend you are far from done...

Hi Patrick, sorry I never responded to this one, I was just speechless with your words. I just popped in to wish you all the best over the holidays and new year, I'm taking a bit of a break over the holidays so wanted to check in one final time. Peace and smiles to you my friend.
