Cancer, you tried to take my spirit,
you only tarnished my patience.

Cancer, you thought you could steal my soul,
you gave me stronger faith.

Cancer, you plucked at my dignity,
you didn't know I would remain proud.

Cancer, you snatched away my strength,
you couldn't bring me to my knees.

Cancer, you warped my body and my mind,
you didn't steal my hope.

Cancer, you led to chemo, which took all my hair,
But the bald badge of courage, I was glad to wear.

Cancer, I am a warrior, through and through,
you tried to take my but I took you.
