< her daughter had cancer and died >

[rayheinrich]

It's a true story from somewhere, but as Milo would say they all die, some sooner than others, no big deal.

Ray, drop the "that's" in L4 if you want to smooth out that line.

Her DAUGH ter had CAN cer and DIED.
(And she CRIED and she CRIED and she CRIED.)
"It was HER be fore ME,
that's not HOW it should BE!"
(And she CRIED and she CRIED and she CRIED.)

The feet are all anapests (except for the iamb at the start).
Maybe "that's" is longer (when pronounced) in your dialect?
The folks in my karass (God-fearing Bokononists all) tend
to substitute a short "e" (as in "wet") for the longer "a"
(as in "fat"). Of course, even Bokonon doesn't know how
those criminals in the ever-dyslexicle bass-ackward
down-under (he said dashedly) pronounce it.
