I do not like cancer here or there, I do not like cancer anywhere!
I do not like cancer for any children,
I do not like cancer for any grandchildren,
I do not like cancer in me,
or in you, you see!
A young boy wrote to the president that he did abhor
Cancer! It said, "Spend money on cancer not on war"
you will make a dent,
and I will not vent,
Children will grow up, not suffer, as we are not meant!

Cancer kills, like war.
My sister died from leukemia, oh me
at fifty-three.
My sister-friend died of leukemia, you see
She was a few years older, around sixty-three.
My grandmother died of widespread cancer
when I was just a young girl, close to three.

No, I do not like cancer, not at all!
I have a group of friends fighting cancer,
I met them at a LiveStrong program, we had a ball!
It is for people that have or have had cancer.
One friend died and she was a doll.

I had cancer
and prefer to think of it in this way when able.
I had cancer
My doctor said, “…it is treatable probably not curable”
No, I do not like cancer!
Cancer, cancer everywhere

No, I do not like cancer anywhere!
Lung, thyroid, pancreatic, and lymphoma
some of the cancers I am aware of, oh mama.
We do what we can when we can
herbal supplements for immunity help man,
plants to take the toxins out of the air,
organic food, limiting fast food and packaged fair
****
We exercise and get enough sleep,
try not to have too much stress seep
into our life,
no more strife!
Laugh and cry more!
These tips will help us for
today and every day!
