In the quiet corners where shadows play,
Cancer whispers, it doesn’t go away.
A scary word, a tough, tough fight,
But it’s not the end, it’s just a blight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It sneaks up on us, catches us by surprise,
Makes us worry, makes us cry.
But in the struggle, there’s strength to find,
A chance to be brave, to be loving and kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With treatments and hope, we stand tall,
We fight together, we give our all.
It’s not easy, it’s a bumpy ride,
But with each other, we find our stride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We learn to cherish each moment we’re given,
To love and to laugh, to keep on living.
Cancer doesn’t mean the story’s done,
It’s just another chapter, another run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, though it’s tough, we won’t give in,
We’ll keep on fighting; we’ll strive to win.
Cancer is tough, but so are we,
Together we’ll face it, and we’ll be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the quiet of the night, we may feel scared,
But we’re not alone, together we’ve bared
Our hearts, our hopes, our fears intertwined,
Facing the darkness with a light that’s refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cancer tries to dim that light, to cast a shadow,
But we stand tall, in the face of this woe.
We hold hands, we share smiles,
We find strength in each other, going the extra miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a journey, a test, a mountain to climb,
But with love as our compass, we’ll reach in time.
We’ll cherish each sunrise, each day that we’re given,
We’ll find joy in the small things, in living, driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cancer may knock us down, but not for long,
We’ll rise again, resilient and strong.
For in the heart of every storm, there’s a calm,
A ray of hope, a healing balm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let’s keep fighting, let’s keep believing,
In the power of love, in the joy of achieving.
Cancer is tough, but we’re tougher still,
Together we’ll triumph, we have the will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
