"You Got This" ~Poem by Priya Kalra~
You’re not alone my friend, I’m here with you today.
I will stand by you and hold your hand, try and take that pain away.
I will take you for a walk and listen if you want to talk.
I will help you face your fears, and wipe away those precious tears.
I know how your heart aches, I have been there
Life is what it is, it’s never always fair.
I’ll share all your worries as if they are mine,
Give you all I can, to ease this unwanted time.
The journey is not easy my friend, but you’ve got to give it all you got,
Because at the end of the day, your life is worth your best shot.
Cancer is not your fight alone, we are in this war together,
I want you to let go your worries, blow them away like a feather.
It’s hard to see through the dark tunnel at the shining light,
But I promise you darling one thing, your future is very bright.
There are many hills, that you will have to climb
But just remember this, take one day at a time.
Take my hand and let’s face the world, and go that extra mile,
I’ll always stand by you and make sure you always smile.
