God hear me please
My eyes fill with tears,
And I could hardly see
This cancer is stealing my father
Slowly away from me.
I can't stand to see him suffer,
I pray his pain would go away.
The light inside him fades a little more
With every passing day.
Please give him the courage
To fight a little longer.
I feel so helpless now.
What can I do to help make him stronger?
I can see it in his eyes.
It's like he wants to give in.
Cancer CAN be fought,
But you have to want to win.
Can't he see that we need him?
Shouldn't that be enough?
He has to think positive.
I know my dad is tough.
I sit and think and think
Until my head wants to explode
Always the same question: why him?
But the answer is still untold.
I wish by some miracle
His cancer would just disappear
And I could have my father back
And there would be no more fear.
God, can you hear me?
I never ask for much.
Would it be so wrong for me to ask
That you give my dad your special touch?
I'm not asking for money
Or diamonds or even a pearl.
I'm simply asking you to help him fight.
Signed: Daddy's little girl!
