because cancer did not win

Cancer did not Win by Brandi Shugart

Wild and crazy you were free like the wind;

Running to and fro and never stopping to look behind.

Life blessed you with many things and challenged 

you until the end..

You fought the hard fight and

though your earthly body is gone from here,

Your spirit now rests in the heavens above.

What cancer did not take was your peace within;

God opened your eyes and heart to Him and for that 

alone, I sing praise to Him.

I will not be sad for you this day 

because you are happy and free of lifes heavy chains.

You are singing with the heavenly choir, praises to our King.

So today the tears are for happiness because cancer did not win.

Your soul is now at rest and watching from above...

Until we meet again....Give God my love....
