Poems that I have wrote
With the way that I feel about the cancer patients (and their families) in mind when I wrote these poems.
This poem I wrote in hopes that the (cancer) patients that we take care of, really knows how we feel.
One Tear
We have been told
To be strong
For the patient
That they need us to be
They are the ones
That are
Strong
Brave
Not willing to
Quit
We take care of
Them with big smiles
But it is them
Who make our day
Just by the big smiles
That they give us
We both try so hard
To smile
But with every
Pain
That you feel
We do too
When we have been
Through so much
When it comes to
The ending
Hours
When you are
No longer looking
A tear falls from our eye.

When writing this poem, I was thinking what a hard job it has to be to make these finial decisions.
You will always be with me
As I watch you sleep
You look so peaceful
How can I let you go?
How can I decide what to do?
Not knowing what to do
I sit and look outside
Down at the river’s edge
Watching a Mother eagle
Teaching its baby to fly
The baby eagle struggles
Putting my head in my hands
How can I let go?
You’ve always been there for me
I tell myself
To be strong
You need me to be
Looking back
The baby eagle is now
Flying on its own
It wings a little shaky
Looking up
It sees the Mother eagle
Now looking down on the baby
Giving it the strength
To fly on
Like the baby eagle
I can be brave
Knowing
You will always be with me
Looking down
Giving me the strength
To fly on

I wrote this poem; to show people that you might not know what to say, but sometimes just being there for the cancer patient is all they need.
Just be here
Sometimes
You might know what to say
But that's ok
Just be here
For me
Sometimes
You might Feel sad
To see me
But that's ok
That's when I'm here
For you
Just look into
My eyes
You can see
The love that we have
Between us
Our love is what will take us through
this time that we have together
Just hold my hand
And I'll hold yours
Together we'll be here
Just remember
Our love
Together
We are strong
Just be here for me
Just always remember
I'll always be here
For you.

Leaves
Our lives are like
The green leaves
Bright and full of life
When we are sick
The green slowly leaves us
Making us brittle
And ready to fall
Now turning a bright red
We are still full of life
Not willing to quit
But some days
It's hard to hold on
The wind comes by
And grabs a hold
Not willing to let go
Holding onto us
Like a true friend would
Never to let us fall.

You’re never alone
When you first find out
That you have cancer
You say, not me!
You yell
You cry
You can’t even think straight
At first you might feel a loss
Making you feel sad
Just around the corner
There is a friend that can help
Be there for you
When you walk down
The some times long road
To recovery
There may be some bumps in the road
Making you feel like
Is there ever an end
When you get to the fork in the road
Reach out your hand
This is when
You are never alone.
