Cancer Poem

We found out in May 2007 that my 13 year old son Sinjin has Cancer Burkitts Lymphoma. He has endured countless rounds of chemo and is fighting this heart and soul. He and I wrote this poem together after he told me It is like the world is moving forward and I am standing still I have since have written many poems about cancer it helps me get through this without falling apart. I need to be now more than ever strong for my son. He has show us nothing but Strength and Courage since this monster came into our lives and we stand united with him in this fight. Living strong with courage, faith and hope. Sinjin and Lorna

Walking On The Edge Of Life

© Lorna Mahan
The world keeps moving forward
as time stands still for me,
I am the kid with Cancer,
locked in battle to be free.
For all us kids on chemo
our lives are put on hold,
As we fight to stay alive,
our chances good were told.
Our attitude is courage
we live this life each day,
Just waiting for tomorrow,
praying cancer goes away.
Walking on the edge of life
We’re never looking down,
United here in front of you,
until a cure is found.

  • At the age of 2 1/2 I was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma. I am now 17, and just got an ROTC scholarship. No doctor or Nurse Practitioner thought I would survive let alone be where I am today. It is possible. Don't give up, keep believing.
