The Courageous Fight

You've stood so tall and faced your fears.
Keeping that smile, dispite the tears.
You've fought the cancer and overcome.
It's ghastly grip you have undone.

The sun shines bright and louder you sing.
So much promise your future now brings.
But in one quick moment, knocked on your back.
The cancer, again, began to attack.

You've heard those words that are so cold.
Your hopes and dreams are put on hold.
Your faith is shaken beyond repair.
This illness you suffer just isn't fair.

Your hope is fading with this new trial.
Lacking the strength to fake the smile.
Completely exhausted, emptied of tears.
Your soul is aching with your greatest fear.

But even though your future's unknown,
You need not fight this battle alone.
A circle of friends sit here and wait.
Hoping the encouragement isn't too late.

With extra shoulders for you to cry.
And many hands to wipe the tears dry.
We'll lift you up, to help you stand.
We'll offer love without demand.

We'll sit and listen as you need.
We'll offer laughter for you to read.
We'll give you comfort, that's what we're for.
We'll give you courage to fight once more.
