Cancer

CIAN MCGRATH

It was a Tuesday,

when they said it was cancer;

it was a bad day.

It was a Friday,

when they said there was no hope;

just days of chemo.

It was a Sunday,

when she thought about her life;

left with nothing to say.

It was a Monday,

when she contemplated death;

hindrance, or joy?

On a Wednesday,

death arrived and cleansed her;

from her manmade shell.

It was a Thursday,

when people came to visit;

too late, not enough.

On Saturday,

her soul floated to heaven;

no longer haunted.
