Migrating cell (Photo credit: TheJCB)
An errant cell mutates
And quickly finds its mate
They grow and grow
And so it goes
Until
You’re suddenly feeling ill
These new cells are defined
Uniquely re-designed
Proliferate
At such a rate
You see
Yourself in entropy
Surgery and radiate
To firmly stop the rate
Of such growth
It’s our oath
To God on high
That only bad cells die
I pray recovery
Will finally set you free
From this dark pain
So you regain
Your health
The greatest form of wealth

A fantastic poem by Helen Valentina. To everyone who is or has battled this modern day demon.
We all know people who are undergoing this challenge now. Such a beautiful way to honor them.
Thanks so much John. My father died of pancreatic cancer, and I have friends battling the disease now too.
It reminded me of my friend passed away a few days ago because of colon cancer, that why I composed a poem for him ” take care in heaven” http://traffice2000.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/take-care-in-heaven/
Thanks for sharing this wonderful and inspiring poem. Bless you.
Thank you for your kind words, and I read your poem and it made me cry, so very lovely! 🙂

As you can see you’ve touched many hearts with this beautiful poem.
Thank you – I guess most of us have either suffered from or been close to sufferers of this terrible disease.
So true … I’ve often told people that chemo is the fine art of poisoning a person just to the point of killing them … but not quite … and hoping you get more of the bad stuff than the good stuff. Great poem. 🙂
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
remarkable and evocative text. You never fail to amaze me!
Thank you so much, that is very kind! 🙂 🙂
