My Heart Aches For You

My heart aches for you, my dear

friend, your tremendous courage,

persistence and fighting spirit are

admirable and left me speechless

on many occasions

Your strong belief in your god has

saved you numerous times from

taking your life, the closeness of

your family rejuvenates your spirit

on a daily basis

When you're gone, your absence will

not go unnoticed, an empty place will

be left in my heart - but your song

will live forever

If there is a purpose behind physical pain

and suffering, please tell me what it is -

everywhere little candles are burning

in remembrance of loved ones who

lost their lives to cancer - and those

who are still fighting for survival

Little candles might evoke a feeling

of care and sympathy and bind us

to shedding tears
