What do you want to see in a cancer survivorship website? Go to www.dragonflyangelsociety.com and tell us what you think!
Tis a new day and you get up and the sky is a bit gray. You go about your morning routine and hope your lethargy
is unseen. You smile a mile when the sun peeps through the clouds and you think the day is won. You get ready to
leave and have nothing on your mind to grieve. But, before you go you hear a knock and take stock of where it
came. You go to the door and think of it as a bore. Yet, there is the grim reaper looking like a creeper and standing
on your stoop. He raises his sickle and fear begins to trickle as he has you in his mind. You have a choice and not
much cause to rejoice. You can bear your claws into the ground and become a dragon and get on the fighting band
wagon or you can let fright take its flight and hope the best for the rest.
You think of your purpose and don’t get nervous and thus you stand your ground. You raise your chest and don’t
get depressed. You let out your breath and death stands no chance because you are a braggin dragon standing on
your band wagon. For death, there is a retreat, but you know he is not beat. He will be back because for him this is
just a temporary setback. You gather family and friends and have them help you in your cleanse. Though death is
gone it is still hard to act on. You are not sure where he went and don’t dare to take him lightly so you hold those
most dear tightly.
You go on living bravely and try not to be gravely. Your strength is a testament that is very resonant. Be proud of
your battles and scars; they don’t make you look like you’re from Mars. Sometimes hope is thin and you might
want to rely on gin. But instead be brave, have might, and fight. Death will come; he always lingers, but don’t let
him wrap you in his fingers. Instead, keep breathing fire and never tire. There is still hope and no reason to mope.
Life is too precious to let it slip away so easily, so sleazily. There will be battles so don’t get addled. It may be un-
clear when it is over or if it ever is, but don’t give in, instead remember your travels and use them as strength in
your upcoming battles. Be a dragon and fight, fight, fight, for there is still light. So goes dealing with cancer.
