Cancer, there is no answer No rhyme or reason No, typical season It’s something you get through Not something you do Finality seniority The process regress The stages of grief Sometimes death is relief The things we aren’t supposed to say The things we think to make it go away We silently prepare for the worst Black hurst Negativity Under a demon’s spell Of no return of The finality of it all Life marker received the call When a life ends People in their grief try to make amends It is selfish of me to think these things The fear of what life brings Saying the silent out loud Facing the fear, giving it to God, letting Go Who am I if not, my husband’s wife What will happen to my life? What will I become? In totality I evolve For whom the bell tolls Death effects one and all Not just the one the grim Reaper call
