The Cancer

We laughed with you

We cried over you

we tried to get over this pain

When you left us here behind

Though you're no longer in pain

We are

The cancer that brought us together

finally tore us apart

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is for my Tio Lucaus Estrada (1946-2006). He died of a steam cell transplant that he had to have in order to stop the cancer coming back. I blame the cancer to this day. He died in June 2006.
