Never Give Up
/At beginning you said
“I hope it is benign.”
Turned out it was malignant
You shed tears, gritted your teeth
Prepared to fight
Then you said
“I hope it is early stage.”
And it was late
Fear filled your eyes
Your optimism soon defeated it
Through multiple treatments
You endured all the sufferings
You said
“I hope it is cured.”
But it recurred
Nearly overtaken by despair
You quickly recovered your resilience
Then you said
“I believe there will be a miracle”
You never let go of your faith
Five years passed
You still cling tight to the thread of hope
