Life's Choices

Life’s Choices

 

She loved living her life of choice

Never listening to her body’s voice

 

She smoked because it looked cool

But was she breaking creation’s rule

 

First came the cough and shortness of breath

Still she didn’t believe it would lead to death

 

Cancer took root within her lungs and grew

Silently oh silently cancer spread, she hadn’t a clue

 

A silent killer ran through her veins deep

It went unnoticed, but she will now weep

 

First a lung, and then her left breast too

And to her hair she sadly whispered adieu

 

Still she smoked it is now too late

Her frail body stands at death’s gate

 

Chemo left her weak and frail

Her eyes now closed in death’s dark veil

 

This picture she left so you won’t ignore

Heed her word she does implore

 

Listen to your body, it will tell you true

 Cancer is a silent killer for me and you

 

Please don’t let her die in vane

Everyone erase all of cancer’s stain
