Black Roses

Mommy and Daddy were dressed in black
As they slowly prepared for the funeral
They was sighing saying she’ll never come back
They said she fought too hard to lose just now
We all had black roses sticking from our uniforms.

Tears were steaming down my Mother’s face
Her mascara was bleeding all over the place,
At the tomb mom looks at the burial place
She said, “You beat the odds, there was no disgrace
Its time to leave this god forsaken place”
Mother left Black Roses at the tomb.

Those who Angles love most die young,
But to die now would to be to die unsung.
She fought the Angles tooth and nail,
Till she made a daughter then another one!
I hope they learn to fight as well
I hope that they fight back and rebel
For they are young and they are loved,
And the cancer just left a Black Rose at the doorbell...

Author notes

Cancer can shorten and destroy your life, and make it impossible to live if you let it. If you fight it as hard as you can, then you are a hero.

    This was a good poem here... I think some of the lines have too many sylabols though... Other than that this was a nice, sad poem. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.

      if you are suffering from cancer, then it is good for you to find something to hold onto to help you survive.
      My friend Ms. Kathy was diagnosed at 18 and lived on until she was in her late 40's with the support of her husband, children, friends and her art.

        yes. This is one more thing that I can use to help me get through it. I was 16 when I was diagnosed and have been fighting for 2 years and it's been really tough but I will make it.

    very moving

    The poem made me reflect on the struggle my family and encountered as several family member encountered that disease. I thank God for those that overcame and shedded a many tears for those who didn't. You are right they have to fight for we can't fight for them only with them.

    you do a lot of contest entries

    Cancer is a horrible thing. To realize how long it has been around and medicine still has no idea how to stop it... i think that you're right- fight as hard as you can- but to fight as hard as you can you need to have faith in something, even if you've never believed in that something. good job!
