lyrics

The Big C

Grand kids bouncing on my knee
Something that will never be.
Morning walks to look at bugs,
From out of nowhere random hugs,
These things not meant to be
diagnosed with the Big C.

All those years I worked to toil
hoping for youngsters I could spoil.
Frowns and giggles and smiles of joy
a little girl or a little boy.
These things not meant to be
diagnosed with the Big C.

There will be no pictures of us together,
but I’ll be there just the same,
I’ll hear the squeals of joy and laughter
Up on a cloud in the Hereafter.

Got some kids,
maybe they ought to get busy.
I’m lightheaded and feeling dizzy,
there are things I’m not meant to see
I was diagnosed with the Big C.
