Another Poem by Ray Hansell

Another young woman
Whose body is attacked
She tried so very hard
To fight her way back

But once again her opponent
Just appeared one day
She had to fight a disease
That is tough to make go away

She fought herself a courageous fight
Like all women do
But it had a strangle hold
On her body through and through

She did fight hard
She did fight long
But in the end
The cancer was too strong

This seems to be a foe
That win's too many fights
But I know there are women
Who are successful in their plight

There are many who sometimes beat
This killer known as cancer
We must keep on fighting
Until one day we find the answer

To put an end to all the suffering
It causes in our society
Because we know at any time at all
This could strike you or me
