Today a girl left this earth
After being strong
Battling against the deadly evil
Cancer
And my problems seem big
I have life
The precious gift that so often gets taken for granted
But you see,
we only appreciate what we have when we no longer have it
Sad, I know
But it's how we are
So appreciate everyday that you have
When you wake up
Thank god for your life
And live each day likes its your last
Because you never know when father time will come for you

I wrote this poem today after finding out that a girl in my school passed away with cancer. It upset me so much because she was so strong and positive about her fight and recovery. She didn't deserve to leave the earth so soon and it just makes me thank God for the life I have, and for my health.
