Cancer

We stood by your bed side,
We thought you would make it through the night,
But your body was going through a battle,
The cancer was winning the fight.
Although we don't know the face of this killer,
We know its deadly.
Taking lives overnight,
Killing hearts that were heavy.
It's taken the best smiles, the best hearts,
It's ruined relationships,
Got in between people that can't be torn apart.
Yes it's the cancer that is responsible for the pain in store,
Yes the cancer may have won the battle,
But never will it win the war.
For cancer is uncontrollable,
You cannot just steer it,
The cancer can take away the life,
But will never kill the spirit.
