help...maybe...

[yo ziza]

i've been chosen to do a poem for relay for life.
my teachers keep pissin me off cause they think i don't know anything about cancer.
truth is. my stepdad's mother died from cancer and i wrote my first poem to her (they didn't think it was sad enough)
so i wrote this instead. tell me what you think. it has no title

We've just become friends
now you tell me you might go
someone wants you home
someone you love and know

You've held me tightly in your arms
and wiped my worried tears
although your body is getting weak
in your eye's, I sense no fear

I know you're older, more muture
and far beyond me in some ways
bur there's between us something pure
that's given me these magic days

You never let them put you down
no matter what was found
you'd shake you're head
and smiling say
"I'm to young to let cancer get me down"

I thank you for the loveliness
that your sweet friendship's brought to me
so think of this poem as a caress
That says, "i love you" gracefully
