How quickly death surrounded her br One minute warm and alive br The next minute cold and still br br Two months ago she was herself br Shovelling snow in the driveway br Bitching about the cold br br Cancer reared its ugly head br Invaded her and took up residence br This body shall be mine br br The battle was short-lived br Definitely a one sided affair br Nothing fair about dying br br She prayed for death to take her home br Life no longer mattered br Nothing left to experience now br br But death.
