So death came to take her away,
But found her heart pure and without sin.
He sighed and said:
“I would allow you to live free and unburdened,
but alas life is never without its horrors.
It reminds you to keep on breathing.”
He reached out and with but a touch a darkness began to spread.
Across her stomach and over the years to her lungs.
For death gave her a chance.
To live,
to love,
to experience.
Cancer is a slow until the moment it is caught.
