Sorry, but I\'ve never met you

I know I\'ve never met you,

So it will be pretty hard

To say what needs saying.

Please don\'t pay me disregard.

I was sick with cancer once,

But I found it pretty quick.

Some of us have all the luck,

I\'m so sorry that you\'re sick.

I\'ll never know how it feels

To know the end is coming.

But please hold on for a bit,

Brad\'s having trouble drumming.

His bounce, which once was jumpy,

Has all but faded away.

His laughing smile, I can\'t see.

Is he waiting for your day?

This poem may never help you,

And it may never help me.

I can\'t say what needs saying

With this rhyming harmony.

So from here on I\'ll free verse if you don\'t mind

I\'d hate to break your flow

But worse things can happen

If we, too soon, let go.

(Sorry, but I couldn\'t help but rhyme

It was just too good of a setup.)

Know that I pray for you

Each and every day

to get better

to grow stronger

that God will make this easier

on you

on Brad

Who knows?

Maybe someday we\'ll compare scars.
