Heavyweight Champion
Chalk one up for cancer
The heavyweight champion
of the world
My father was no match
to go up against him
He had a good fight though
Radiation
Chemo
Stem cell transplant
Cocktails of medication
You put up a good fight Dad
Until Cancer came back
with a vicious jab
and devastating right hook
Knocked you off you're feet
Now you're on the canvas
Face down
And its not looking good
But we're all cheering for you Dad
Telling you to get up
Hoping
Waiting
In slow motion
The referee is beginning
his three count
One...
Two...
Dad? Please get up.
Dad?
...
You'll always be my Champion.
