On Your Shoulder


To my brave other half John who has been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and is so very brave. He will beat it he says, and I believe he will, he did it once before over 25 years ago. That angel still sits on his shoulder.

Sitting each upon a chair
A smile, a nod, sad eyes, no hair
Bravely doing what they must do
Above them hangs a bag or two
Medicine which causes pain
But will make them well again.
MacMillan nurses gentle touch
Know that this can hurt so much
Smile and welcome family in
Together we can beat this thing.
John I know that you are strong
And bravely you will carry on
Your hero Atlas when so young
Showed you how it could be done
I am proud of who you are
A bright and shining sparkling star

Sitting high upon your shoulder
Your angel`s stayed as you`ve got older
Giving strength, believe he`s true
And I know he`ll see you through
