“Cancer” he said, and I thought, “oh damn”.
All after having just been asked how I do it,
in the face of all, how I stay so upbeat.

already knew I’d ask, “is your dad ok”?

Yet to my strength of will
let another never pass.
that I cave to compassion,
let my heart grow at last
and give the way you need.
