My Faith, My Hope
Breast cancer. A crippling disease.
It can tear families apart,
causes so much pain.
But, it also shows
how strong you can be and
who's a true friend.
Remember there are two sides to one coin.
I wear pink on, this
Breast Cancer Awareness Day
to honor those who have fallen.
To inspire hope to those
still battling.
Fighting for a chance.
for a way. Just like
I used to back in the day.
I used to feel so sick, so weak.
It would start in my chest
then end in my heart, my head.
I thought, on some days, that
I would be better off dead.
Sometimes I cursed my
cancerous breast.
For the pain, the fatigue
because I couldn't do
what I once did.
I wanted to run and play
Like I used to
back yonder day,
but I laid there
in that bed
to wait.
To wait for a cure
to somehow appear.
I wished, I prayed
that I would live
until that faithful day.
The chance of survival
has increased, but it is
still, just a maybe.
We need a cure not
not a silver tongued promise.
I was on of the lucky ones,
one of the so very few.
Who faced it head on,
the never ending feud, and won.
At least for now.
And if the battle starts again.
I will fight, I will wait
until the cure appears
I will have never ending faith.
