"On
Heightened Alert"
Cancer is your shadow if it ever comes your way
You're never truly alone, after diagnosis day.
You notice little things you never noticed before
Because Cancer brings you closer to being at heavens door.
Any unusual appearance of something on your skin
You immediately call your Doctor, whose become your best friend.
You notice imperfections that you never knew you had
And you jump to conslusions that all of it is bad.
You know you shouldn't worry, it's not the thing to do
Cause worry causes Stress and that's so bad for you.
But you know you're all alone with what you call Big C
And you keep asking the big question, "what will it do to me."
Don't jump to conclusions and don't let it get you down
Be strong and positive and let your cross become your crown.
