Cancer Kills the Body, Not the Soul
It was 2 years ago
when we first found out
what the meaning of "cancer"
was truly about
It was 1998
and she didn't even know
that the tumor in her breast
continued to grow
I remember it like yesterday
My father sat me down
He explained to me what exactly
the doctors had found
"Your mom has breast cancer,
a very serious case"
I could tell it was serious
by the look on his face
I cried every night
my family unaware
of all the pain in my heart
I just couldn't bare
Every day I asked myself
"Why my mother?"
"Why did such a beautiful person
have to suffer?"
She went through the surgery
and they cut off her left breast
How would you feel
with only half of a chest?
After all the radiation and chemo
she went through
She lost all her strength
And all her hair too
Months went by
and my mother was doing well
We were happy it was over
Dealing with cancer is hell
Everything was great
We were happy once more
A year and a half later,
it was worse than before
It was the beginning of 2000
A time to start new
Not only for my mom,
but for me too
One Wednesday night
getting ready for bed,
my father came in
and said the cancer had spread
We thought it was over
but it had just begun
The cancer in her breast
moved to her lung
Not only her lung,
She had a brain tumor too
The cancer came back
in her body and grew
A tumor in her brain!
What do you mean?!
This was too much to handle
me being a teen
I had so many questions
but there were no answers
1 out of 8 women
Why did she get breast cancer?
Not one time, but again!
This time worse than before
Nothing could save her
except for the Lord
We all kept our faith
in the Lord up above
the real medication
was the family's love
She went through the treatment
all over again
but we all had faith
this time she'd win
Yes, cancer kills
But not this time
She would make it through
perfectly fine
But months had passed
and still bad news
the doctors gave up hope
we were so confused
"There's nothing we can do
about the tumors in her brain
Eventually they'll grow too big
for us to maintain"
"Russell family
we're sorry, but we tried"
All we could do
was comfort my mom as we cried
We woke up every morning
wondering if she did too
would this be the day?
Or would she make it through?
She was always in pain
Every single night
The time was coming near
She could no longer fight
It was October 22nd
I went in her room to say hi
Who knew that very same day
I'd be saying good bye
It was Sunday morning
I went to church that day
Scared for my mother
I just needed to pray
Kneeling on my knees
Praying again and again
Just then I felt it
It was finally the end
I felt this shocking pain in my heart
Telling me she was gone forever
Me and my mommy
were no longer together
I rushed home immediately
I walked up each stair
Turned the corner
And saw all my family there
Everyone was crying
My sister held me tight
I tried to hold back my pain
with all of my might
I saw her for the last time
Lying in her bed
I told her I loved her
And kissed her forehead
They took her body away
Her presence was no longer mine
But her soul will always be true
She is the greatest mother of all time
Mom, you're more than a mom
You are my best friend
And I know you will be with me always
One day we'll be together again
