Cancer, a word that breathes such flame.
It touches lives, both young and old,
A story whispered, yet untold.

The body fights, a weary war,
Against a foe that's at the core.
Cells divide, a rapid spread,
Leaving behind a path of dread.

But hope remains, a flickering light,
A guiding star in darkest night.
Doctors strive with skillful hand,
To heal and help across the land.

Treatment starts, a taxing road,
With strength and courage, burdens load.
Supportive hearts lend helping hand,
Together, make a noble stand.

Though fear may linger, love is near,
To dry the tears and quell the fear.
A journey tough, but not alone,
Until the seeds of health are sown.
