It started with a soar throat,
A shadow on the screen,
A doctor's voice so gentle,
But I knew what it would mean,
A storm was slowly brewing,
Inside my fragile frame,
Life took a sudden detour,
And nothing felt the same,
With each step that I take,
With each breath that I borrow,
I fight for hope and healing,
In the day after tomorrow
I'm in constant care,
And I'm in peoples prayers,
They say this isn't fair,
The spouse and kids in tears,
Cytotoxic treatment,
And noone left to blame,
I'm trying to cheat death,
And nothing felt the same,
With each step that I take,
With each breath that I borrow,
I fight for hope and healing,
In the day after tomorrow
