Maybe One Day ...

Maybe One Day

Maybe one day a child diagnosed with cancer will know they will be cured
Maybe one day when a child is diagnosed with cancer, her father will not have to break down and cry his heart out

Maybe one day when a child is diagnosed with cancer, her mother will not feel the need to bargain with God so her child will live

Maybe one day a child diagnosed with cancer will not lose years of childhood battling for survival
Maybe one day parents of a child diagnosed with cancer will not have to hold their child down during painful procedures and listen to her screams
Maybe one day a child diagnosed with cancer will not have to ask "Why do they have to hurt me to help me?"
Maybe one day a child diagnosed with cancer can go to school without hair and not worry that classmates will tease her
Maybe one day a child diagnosed with cancer will not have to take medication that causes her coordination to leave her and to trip and fall hurting her self esteem
Maybe one day cancer therapy will not have to jepordize the lives of our children
Maybe one day a parent will not have to wonder what their child's potential might have been
Maybe one day we will never have to listen to another eulogy for a child who dies from cancer
Maybe one day, there will be no more cancer... maybe one day.
