“My Cancer Cure” Theme: The theme of “My Cancer Cure” is that even the most unfortunate events can turn around and become good. The speaker of the poem finds out in the beginning of the poem that he had cancer, and by the end of the poem he realizes that spending time “beneath the open sky” has cured him of his terminal illness. Mother nature plays the most important role in this poem because without mother nature, the speaker would not have had such a revelation. Mother nature and human life thrive off of one another, which is why the speaker was able to connect with the wilderness so well. We are born from human biological nature, but when we die, we become part of mother nature. We would not be able to survive as well if we did not tend to mother nature, lengthening and spreading human life. Both of these topics are connected by a continuous circle, which the poem demonstrates.
