There was a young lady with cancer,
a diagnosis to give you an ulcer.
It was an unplanned marathon,
of chemo, surgery and radiation
all in hopes it's the answer.
Chemo is over and surgery is done,
she's on the next step of radiation.
She burns, swells and is going red
"Inflammation" is what the doc said.
Sore and pained, she's so ready for fun!
Regardless of pain,
she goes sun or rain.
Treatment is every day
to help the cancer go away.
It's enough to drive one insane.
33 days the trip must be made,
"Make it work" she prayed.
13 complete, 20 to go,
the end is far you know.
A hard path to walk unafraid.
In the room with big machines
She lays, imagining peaceful scenes.
She takes the radiation,
without hesitation
to see her kids reach their teens.
