Cancer

You have no friends among us.

You’re an enemy to all.

You cause suffering and pain

each time you come to call.

 

You attack at your discretion,

no matter young or old.

You have respect for no one.

You are cruel, mean and cold.

 

As you invade my body,

you will find my spirit strong.

I’ll fight with might, day and night,

regardless of how long.

 

Many, through the power of faith

and  prayer have beaten you.

Unless my God wants me home,

my faith will beat you too.

    These two poems by Mr. Ron Tranmer, The Big “C” and Cancer are awe inspiring. He is very insightful to the soul. I want to share with my Spiritual Group. I of will give Mr. Tranmer the respect and acknowledgement that he created this material. Because this is Cancer Awareness Month, this will give hope to those suffering with this disease, those who have survived thus far and the caregivers. I have lost a daughter to this disease. Thank you for your sensitivity. I give this the highest rating that can be given. Please shoot me an email as to where I can purchase and which book has these and similar poems.
