As the pain inside grows each day

I feel myself being ripped away

The enormous growth in the colon

Feeling like my life is stolen

My family not knowing what’s going on

Just going day to day like nothing wrong

How do I tell them I gonna die

I don’t want my kids to look at me and cry

And so we head off to camp once more

Before we find out what’s in store

Standing in the camper making dinner

I just wonder If its cause I’m a sinner

What in my life did I do

To make me have this to go through

The pain and aching at my side

I just wanna run and hide

And so I look at my kids once more

For it is them who I adore

As I sit there by that  campfire

Just feeling like I was a liar

If only they would know that this was our last

Cause my time has come where I will pass

No more family trip again

For the road is gonna end.



Finally we got home

My kids just set out to roam

I suddenly had to realize

That my colon has doubled in size

Making the drive to see what’s going on

Just hoping it hasn’t been to long

All that they could do

Is cut me open and take some tissue

And so I lay there on that bed

All I can think of is being dead

Looking down at below my chest

Just thinking I need some rest

The scars are open wide

I know they’ll never hide

It had been a long day

My family is so far away

I would like to clear my life at this rate

To start out fresh  nothing on my plate



Getting home was a chore

For I had no idea what was in store

I laid in bed to heal my pain

The doctors say I’ll never be the same

No to help me with a ride

For he wasn’t by my side

And so I finally get home

I have to do it all alone

Three kids waiting for me

If only they knew what the future would be

Remission came to me atlas

The doctors say this shall be the past

My life has left the ground

I starting nursing….getting around

The memories with my kids are great

I even think of going on a date

Christmas has come once more

I got them presents from the store

This would be the last

Because my pain came from my past

In April I had a scare

The tumor surfaced once more





The surgery didn’t work this time

My life wouldn’t ever be mine

Just memories of all my past

I just hope that they will last

I feel the energy draining down

My spirits have hit the ground

And as I know my time will end

I just remember the promise from him

He promised me if I have faith each day

He’ll take my pain all away

And so I lay here on this bed

Trying to just raise my head

All the strength that I have is gone

For I know that I have no one

Then suddenly my son comes in

Sitting by my bed I just listen to him

It will be the last that we will see

For my life will end in misery

And as we talk before I die

I just try not to cry

He’s so strong the better one

Be was always the good son

I can only recognize him now

For I don’t remember the family somehow

The cancer ate away my brain

I guess that is why I think I’m insane

And as  he walked out of my room

I knew the time was certainly soon

I just closed my eye’s to cry….

For that night I surely did die…….
