(Dedicated to Shane)
Roy Cotter left this world today
The dreaded cancer took its toll
Sleeping as he breathed his last
Heaven surely gained another soul
A voracious monster, this awful disease
Takes friends and loved ones from our midst
Leaving us all to wonder why
As it mocks our scientists, who still persist
Questions flood through tortured minds
And, still, we have no answer
As new technology is discovered
We all still fear the horrendous cancer
Yet, we are not to question God
We have placed our trust in this Higher Power
For in the midst of the Master's Bouquet
R.C. is His latest flower
