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.
