Loved ones below

~~
loving family for many years
 so many memories of happy tears
 til one day a dr visit changed it all
 the words of cancer made them fall

stage 4 is what they said
 it was a cancer in the head
 tears never ran dry
 everyone close to them began to cry

chances of healing not so good I dread
 so many doubts and pain ahead
 a tumor the size of a ball
 never saw this coming, not that I recall

she felt fine not an ounce of pain
 yet here we are nothing to gain
 how do we tell the kids mom is dying
 tell them just enough no more prying

the oldest is sixteen the youngest is ten
 doing we relive the past and remember when
 when things were good on that camping trip
 or when we went to the fair and that ride we flipped

Not sure what to do or how to plan my end
 I wont go to work I wont even bend
 all I have is here in this house
 beautiful kids and a wonderful spouse

here I am in the hospital bed
 a bloody bandage on my head
 nothing further they could do so they say
 family and friends on their knees now we pray

wont be long til god calls me back
 it was never love that I lacked
 so here I go eyes closing slow
 up to heaven I am looking at all the loved ones below.......
