Remission

Remission

by Bud Lemire on June 24, 2014

I have cancer, but I'm in remission

You could say I'm on break to do some fishing

Going to catch me the big one

Sitting here enjoying the warm sun

Just taking a break from the big fight

Enjoying the time in the daylight

I'll take a little walk in the park

Until my world is once again dark

I never gave up on hope

Just always did my best to cope

There are times when I feel down

Yet I'm still hanging around

Bad news is like a hit in the head

I get back up because I'm not dead

Speaking of that, those who have died

Come around me to support and to guide

I keep hoping one day they'll find a cure for sure

So the pain I live in, I won't have to endure

Many times I spend my time wishing

That I am healed, but it's only Remission

They say there isn't a cure, only remission.

You just have to keep on fighting to live.

Let us hope that one day there will be a cure,

and all the pain and suffering will disappear.
