To My Little Sister With Throat Cancer

I am the older brother to my little sister who has throat cancer.
We grew up in southern New Jersey. I moved away when I was 18 to California.
My sister Susan remained there. I found out 2 months ago that she had been diagnosed.
I write her every day, sending her many uplifting poems and writings of encouragement.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my poem with others.

Happy Trails To Cancer Shirt

©

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2011 with permission of the Author.

  It was purchased just for you,
  when you're happy or you're blue,
  you can wear it on your head,
  'round the house or in your bed,
  you can wear it in the dark,
  while you're strolling in the park.

  You can wear it going to Church,
  or by the tele watching Lurch,
  you could wear it to do the wash,
  or when cooking stew or squash.

  Frosty Freeze is like Carvel,
  always had this great old smell,
  frozen custard, ain't it grand,
  lots of trips to that old stand,
  Werner Brooks and A & W,
  didn't have Wawa or VW.

  Thought this shirt might have some power,
  to take old cancer to the shower,
  to make you laugh and push that bug,
  with a big old "Frap" and a giant mug.

Whatever it does, it's inspired from above,
and sent from your brother with a whole lot of
                                LOVE.

Thank you so much for sharing this poem. It really means a lot to us, especially me, because my late grandmother also died of a cancer. But we all made sure that she was always happy, and we tried our best to make her survive. RIP to my late grandmother. Wherever you are, I want you to know that we will always love you a lot.

That was beautiful. I wish no one had to go through cancer, but hope, and faith, as well as love will always seek a brighter day!
