Cancer-(the silent killer)

A six letter word
what could it do
only hurt the ones
surrounding you

The pain it causes
is so un-real
some of the victims
never heal

Cancer's the word
now that you see
it tortures so many
families

It shouldn't be real
it shouldn't exist
no one should have too
deal with this

It kills by the dozens
every day
it shouldn't have to be
this way

I miss you grandpa
i really do
i want you to know
i do love you

I wish you were here
we weren't apart
but i know i have you
close at heart

When i heard the news
i only cried
i wished i could've
said good-bye

I know your watching
up from above
I'll smile and wave
I'm sending my love

And though i miss you
this isn't good-bye
you had to
spread your wings and fly

I clearly know
your in a better place
i just keep wishing
i could see your face

I miss your smile
i miss your laugh
promise you'll never
forget the past

We all miss you grandpa
but the futures what we hold
i guess we'll meet again
at the shining gates of gold!

~Dedicated to my grandpa~

And to anyone dealing with cancer themselves or among family and friends, i wish you the best.
