City Of Hope Poem by Afnan Bhimani

Here I dare to introduce,
The city of 'cancer'!
Crowded among the patients,
were the doctors and sisters.
United they all stood;
awakened from sleep for the morning prayers,
The old, the kids and the teenagers...
awaiting to meet a family, a job or a future!
And i cudnt hear a word;
but only the rolling tears...
Time flowing from their hands;
like the sand in an hourglass!
Wrinkled, paled and scared,
not ready to look in the mirror.
But now I dare to intorduce,
The city of 'HOPE'
so limited is Cancer -
where Love cannot cripple
and hopes cannot shatter
dreams cannot destroy
and spirit cannot lower
Truely so limited is cancer! ! !
