A Defiant Message to CancerSunset and clouds

Today you think you took a child of God. Oh, how wrong you are. You took no one.

You see, Cancer, my sister did not succumb to your evil ways. My sister never once wavered from her faith. She sang praises to her Lord right up to her rebirth. She read his holy book daily.

You see, Cancer, she was happy to go to her home. You tried to entice her for six weeks with brutality; she did not budge. You tried to break her resolve; she would not break. You stooped so low as to test her faith. To think you could ever take this child of God, YOU LOST the battle. My sister gladly went home.

I am her proud brother.
