Here It is Again-Cancer
Again the cancer has raised its ugly head
In the bones of my wife it spreads its dread
The doc caught quickly this time around
A dose of chemo for on its head we will pound
She had 6 months of a tranquil, normal life
But now a return to struggle and strife
Since the onset some 14 months ago
We hoped the treatment cycle would go slow
We accept this vicious cycle for the rest of her days
For at some point in the future it will slay
But for now, treatment and a return to lifes joy
And continued vigilence watching for cancers next ploy
