Sid's Farewell

Cancer cells
Ostracise years slowly.
Maybe's become
Pleads...pleads to
Live.
Eventual life battle, fails -no more given
Time. Feeble attempts to
Ignite life; concoctions
Of many potions just jeers.
"Not to worry" he says and then adds "to good health -cheers".

It's an iffy attempt I know. Hope it's reasonably enjoyed. (In memory of my adopted Grandad Sid who sadly passed away to cancer last week. He was the most inspirational person I have known for his age, 90. His motto is as the last sentence "To good health -cheers". A pint of Guinness in his hand.)
