She's Got The Big "C!"
They told her today that she'd got the big "C",
She's not very old, she's much younger than me.
She wanted to do so many things, -
See Petra, the Grand Canyon and maybe the Sphinx.
Now she's not going to go anywhere,
Her world's in a turmoil and she's in despair.
She doesn't know how she's going to copeÂ
When statistics tell her there isn't much hope.
She sits down with a biscuit and cup of tea
And thinks, "Why did this have to happen to me?"
A few salty tears roll down her face,
She's in a quandary, in a very dark place.
She makes up her mind that she'll fight all the way, -
She'll fight and she'll fight, day after day.
Her body is tired and racked with pain
So she reaches for painkillers yet again.
If only she'd gone to the doctors before
But she just couldn't get through that surgery door.
They told her today that the cancer had won,
She knows she is dying and her hope is all gone.

sad poem linda
Hi Maralyn,
This is a sad yet very beautifully well written poem and my heart and my prayers go out to the lady most sincerely.
I`d like to send a great big welcome to you now that you have joined the Cosmo family and I hope you have lots of fun with us all. You will make many friends on here as there are a lot of very talented poets on here and I`m sure you will have many hours of fun with us all.

I agree with Georgina, a sad yet beautifully written poem. My heart and soul feels for this woman. Cancer steals away so many lives, it's even more heartbreaking when it's the life of someone who has barely had the chance to truly live.Â
All your writes are so raw and filled with emotion. I am so happy you joined us here!Â
