Butterfly






Butterfly

I’ve heard about cancer
Felt so sorry for those who had cancer
My friend had cancer
Every month he had treatments
Our families, friends all together
Sharing our feelings
Going together for his treatments
Month after month
Days run together
How many days?
How many months did we go through?
We are together laughing and talking
We are together drinking coffee
Visiting each together
Sharing holidays, helping each other
One day my friend shed his cocoon
Became like a butterfly
He had no more pain
Freedom he had and flew from us
He’s gone, now I’ve got cancer
My friend was like my brother
My friend cared about my family
My friend was like an uncle to my children
I will fight cancer
I am a strong woman
I am Mother
I am a good wife
I am not yet ready to leave this world
I will live my life
I will be a grandmother one day
I will enjoy my grandchildren
I promise - I will survive.
