The thing that we all dread, the conversation of condemnation When a family member may take a permanent vacation Leave from this world into one that is new And when you think of your memories, there are too few Many people joke and describe something as being cancer The thing that kills more than a medieval lancer The thing that is found in my family members I wish I could give it back with a stamp βreturn to senderβ Please don't let this take more of my family Noone else should be ****** you see All of them are great and dear to my heart Most have been in my life right since the start But this man is one I haven't known for long But he's still my family so let me note in this song I love you, and I don't want you to go But I don't want pain to be the last thing you know So I hope that at the end, whether it's death or healing That the only thing in your heart, is the love you should be feeling
Written when I found out my Step-Grandpa was going to die of cancer
