A New Hope

 

A New Hope

Let's change the word “Cancer,” to the word “Hope”

For the people who are having, a hard to time to cope

Let's give it a new meaning, let's give it a new role

That those going through it, will once again be whole

Hope that a cure, soon will be found

And labs are working on it, worldwide around

Hope that one day, that people like us

Will live with less pain, for that is a must

We all need hope, to help us through

That somehow, some way, it will come true

We can't go on living, in a world so bleak

Because there are days, when I am so weak

There are days, when it's so hard to be

The tests that they give, are so rough on me

The Doctors and Nurses here, are the best

But I'd really prefer, to skip the test

My family and friends support me, which helps in one way

Yet there are times it is so hard, to get through every day

I try my best, to get through and to cope

But instead of “Cancer,” what we need is “A New Hope”

This is for all my friends and family who are dealing

with “A New Hope.”
