Cancer
by Jacki M ButlerYou lie there in the hospital bed
We're talking like normal
Like any other day
You're ok, at least for now
How can in just hours
You fade into yourself
Gone, but not completely
Here, but not really
I wish you could just let go
You are suffering and we know that
I love you, and I will help your kids through this
You need to let go and go home
We all love you
We will miss you so much
But you don't need to worry about us
We will love you forever
And will never forget you 05/12/2007 Author's Note: Dawn, my mom's best friend....my second mother.....its time for you to go home. You can't keep suffering like this. It is so hard to watch you in pain. We love you, Chris & Jess will be ok, I'll be there for them.
