Some of these diseases are more serious than others. It is not only the disease that is painful but also the many way of treating it.

1. Thief Of Life
Cancer you monster
let go of my son,
We won’t let you take him,
don’t think you have won.
Thought you could sneak in
like a thief in the night,
Trample our spirit,
then take my child’s life.
You started this battle
but we’ll win this war,
We caught you red handed,
you’ll live no more.
We fight you with chemo
it’s making him ill,
Your time here is short,
its you this will kill.
With courage and faith
his fear he’ll walk through,
There is no surrender,
just the death of you!

2. Daddy, Don’t Be Scared.
Awaiting the news, we feared the worst and hoped for the best.
Life was about to put my family through an unforgettable test
Mom came in, evidence on her face, that daddy wasn’t okay
“daddy has cancer” mom cried “we won’t see him for a couple of days”
I didn’t sleep that night, that night was one of the worst
I have never been to a funeral before, and I feared daddy’s would be my first
I cried myself to sleep, and little did I get
I wasn’t ready too lose my only father yet
After the surgery, I visited Daddy, and I don’t mean to be rude
But seeing him like this scared me, he looked like a skeleton decorated in tubes
It was exceptionally difficult not to cry, but I tried oh so hard
I walked over, hugged Daddy tight, and handed him my home-made card
It said: Daddy I hope you get well soon, I know you’ll be okay
It’s okay to be scared, we’ll visit you everyday.
And when you get home, things will change, we won’t ever fight, it’s true.
Daddy never give up, keep on fighting…
I never want to lose you.
As his eyes scanned across the page, tears welled up in his eyes.
That was the first day I’ve ever seen my Daddy cry.
We hugged for forever, cried together, and quickly did time pass.
I never wanted to stop saying “I love you” for fear it would be the last.

3. Our Hearts Will Always Touch
When I laid there beside you,
Could you feel me there?
My arms were wrapped around you,
And I was stroking your hair.
I was talking about all the good times,
For me they were every single day.
I wanted you to feel love and comfort,
And happy in some way.
I watched your every breath,
And prayed that each one wasn’t your last.
The time we got to share together,
Went by too quick…Too fast.
I wanted you to wake up,
Please Mum…Open your eyes.
Tell me this is a nightmare,
And not our goodbyes.
As your last breath grew closer,
We layer there peacefully together.
My heart continually breaking,
Because I wanted you forever.
Then there it was,
Your final breath of air.
I didn’t want to believe it,
This is so cruel and not fair.
I held your beautiful face,
And prayed you’d breath again.
I wasn’t ready for you to go,
I couldn’t admit that this was the end.
But then I realized that you were now in peace,
And not suffering anymore.
You were beginning the life of an Angel,
And your body would no loner be sore.
I held you close and squeezed you tight,
And tried to say goodbye.
I’ve lost my Mum and my number one best friend,
All my heart could do is cry.
I slowly got up,
I wanted so much to stay.
I leaned over and gave you one more kiss,
It was so hard to walk away.
Mum you are my entire world,
And I miss you so very much.
I wish I could feel your loveable cuddle,
And your soft and gentle touch.
But for now I have to wait,
Until we meet again.
You will always be in my heart and thoughts,
My dear Mum and best friend.
Always and Forever,
Our hearts will always touch.
Always and Forever,
Your baby girl loves you so much.
