Cancer Poem

You were there for my very first breath,
And I was there for your last.
The time we got to share together,
Went by too quick...Too fast.

For life or someone took you away from me,
With that hateful, horrible disease.
The cancer struck you hard and fast,
We weren't even given time to sneeze.

You were gone, and we were left,
To struggle through this life.
The pain struck more when we looked in Dads eyes,
As he dreaded to continue without his wife.

Continue he did, for a while,
How proud we were of he.
Times were tough, as he missed you dearly,
But he was always as strong as can be.

Then came along in not much time,
More horrible and sad news.
Dad was sick, the same as you,
The cancer had got him too.

How could this be, its not even a year,
Since we lost our beautiful Mum.
I hated this world for what it's doing,
Why do we have to be that someone?

It stayed with Dad for a while,
Eventually making him quite sick.
Then it was time to say goodbye,
When his heart could no longer tick.

Exactly a year since we said goodbye to you,
We had to say goodbye to Dad too.
I wish it was a dream and I could wake up,
But this nightmare is horribly true.

And so we continue, each day different to the next,
The pain still so real and sore.
Still trying to accept and understand,
Why did this happen to our family for?

I now sit and pray and try to picture you two,
And I hope that you are both together.
This world we live in is not the end,
And your love was to last forever.

Until it's time for us to meet again,
Please be there watching over me.
Help me continue through this life,
And give me direction that I can see.

Mum and Dad you are my entire world,
You are both as precious as a pearl.
Everyday I love you with all my heart,
Signed...Your Little Girl.
