THE UNSEEN MONSTER
It has life, it grows and never dies,
Relentless and appears very angry.
No fear does it possess but fear it gives,
There is no discrimination as it devours life.
Heartless without emotion as it travels,
It has a name as it has many nicknames.
Mankind does not call it friend as it has only one love,the face of death,
It can not be reasoned with, it will fight just as you must fight.
It conquers many battles, many will surrender,
The unseen monster has no conscience
But a body and strength like no other.
Its given name is the devils’ friend,
It calls itself only “CANCER”.

I hope it’s not something you or your circle are having to deal with.
My mom passed away in March, she died in three weeks from her diagnosis. right after her birthday.

You’re welcome, Keith.
I do not know if this is personal to you but my mother beat breast cancer with the help of God last year. I hope if this is personal to your life that there will be a happy ending for you as well.
My mother passed away in March, I still can’t believe it.
