Read these beautiful touching poems by cancer survivors

"The Curse" by Jayde Reid Oshawa Ontorio.

 All at once my world came crashing down,
And no one can understand... Why I often wear a frown!
Diagnosed with ""cancer"" were the hardest words recieved,
Who actually would of thought?
Who actually believes? Believes in my recovery... believes I'll make it through
 I'm often left in wonder, is this nightmare really true?
You can bet that no matter how bad it is... Someone always has it worse!!
Although this thing called ""cancer" Is nothing but a CURSE."

No one really knows by Pati 2730 bullrun Rosenberg tx 77471

"No one really knows
What kind of bond we share
And even if I told them
They probably wouldn't care
You are very dear to me
 I hope you know it's true
And now that you are sick
Tell me what that I should do?
While you've been gone
A part of me has been lost
It's like I've taken our friendship for granted
And now I'm paying the cost
 I never knew how much you meant to me until you went away
The thought of you being really sick
Haunted me every day
I spent a few days at school alone and my weekend was such a bore
A lot of my time was spent in my room
 I think my mom's ready to break down the door
And now I make this vow to you to keep until the end
 I'll help you through the pain and tears
Until our rivers bend
So if you ever need someone
You know just who to call
I'll be here by the phone
To catch you if you fall "

UNCLE JOEY by dana Schlemmer (Dedicate to her Uncle Joey, who was unfortunate to be diagnosed with this disease and passed away from it) 
My uncle Joey, and incredible man
way back in his wonderful mind
a condition kicks in
of an unimaginable kind
Cancer is its name
pain is what it causes
it acts as an unthinkable game
for it never pauses
We didn't see it coming
we had no time to prepare
the cancer took his life
as if it didn't give a care
As i watch this terrible disease
take a one i love
i can't help but ask for strength
from the one up above
 For my unlce Joey, each breath is weaker
than the last
i pray to get help
i pray to cure the past
To god, I ask to cure the pain I feel
I asked him for the help
I asked him to heal
I can see it in his eyes
I can see it on his face
he's had a happy life
he's ready to finish the race
He's been through so much
its time for him to go home
to leave behind sorrow and hate
and see where happiness and laughter could roam
If I ever need to talk to him
i'll just look up at the stars
he'll be there to listen
he'll be right next to mars
This day  I wish I could forget
I wish to leave it all behind
I wish to have a life recorder
so I could just push rewind
So, god we need you now
please take him by the hand
take him up to where he belongs
help him to understand
Now, the memories will always linger
they'll never go away
you'll have them to love and remember
to start a brand new day
The hurt we are all feeling now
won't go away overnight
but someway, somehow
everything will turn out all right
He's now seated at the right hand
where one day well meet again
well use our friends and family
to bring life to a mend.
