Difficult Days
Kneeling
Next to his friend
Taking
His hand
Tears flowing freely
Cancer
A hateful name
For an even more
Hateful disease
There was no joy
In his eyes
Pain wracked
His beaten spirit
No words
Can bridge the gap
Between the now
And tomorrow
Whispered prayers
Of hope
Between two men
Say enough
Dark days to come
With tears and pain
Aren’t enough
To break the spirit
They part
These two friends
Knowing
There are few left
But certain of
A reunion.
