Another day, another light

Cast upon the darkness thats now bright

Friends and family with each other,

Not knowing their last day with one another,

Hearts are broken, tears are shed,

Knowing now their loved ones dead.

May you rest in peace, dear grandfather,

We love you and now the cancer shall haunt you no longer.

Lauryn Cortiaus
