When shall come the day?

Two months ago,
they told us you had a cancer
a cancer eating through you
taking over your body
threatening to steal your existence.
But .. not today ..
Two days ago,
they told us you were getting near
an enemy that could not be destroyed
was on your door step
threatening to close your eyes
but .. not today ..
Two hours ago,
they told us you were gone
forever
just slipped away, some thief unseen
took you away, it was expected
but ..
not
today ..
Two years ago
We asked you to quit
it’s going to kill you
We all care for you, grandpa
You said, “Maybe i’ll quit”
but
..
not
today
..
