Cancer

by Dagmar Wilson   Feb 4, 2019


Death is not an option
it's a promise,
the circle is getting smaller.

Cancer is the name
it has swept many lives away,
I don't want to lose the smell of their presence.

    Dagmar, cancer is indeed an awful disease. Too many of us have lost someone or are sharing the fight of one who has cancer. It doesn't discriminate and it destroys so much in its wake. Hugs to you-
