She's slower now and grey and bent
beneath the burdens that life has sent
I watch her walk, she feels her way
I ask to help, if i may
Her health is poor and getting worse
She says that cancer is her curse
I listen as her breathing comes slow
I remember how fast she used to go
My heart silently breaks as i shutter
For what will I do without my grandmother?


My grandma has lung cancer, about a year ago she had part of her lung removed. The cancer left, but now has returned. There's nothing left to do, the Chemotherpy didn't help. Today(10-31-2004) my grandma's sister died of cancer. I hate Cancer, it killed my Dad last year. My mother is surviving cancer. I am doomed. Damn this world anyway!! Okay, I'm done venting...thanks for listening!!
