Pin A Ribbon

One voice

Is all it takes.

Spread awareness,

Even if your voice shakes.

Pin a ribbon.

Walk the miles.

Isn’t it worthy,

To see their smiles?

Mother, daughter,

Father, friend.

Fundraising for research,

Start the trend.

Cancer isn’t immoral.

It’s not always a caused disease.

Find ways to raise money,

Put the families at ease.

They are working to get through it,

Help lay burdens to rest.

You can make a difference

By joining in the quest.

Spread awareness,

Even if your voice shakes.

One voice

Is all it takes.

Author's Note

This was requested by someone on Quizilla. She asked if I would write a poem for her mother who had cancer.

You are very real in what you feel putting it in the open for the world to see. As someone told me about my poems, "you don't fear it because you are strong."

This is so sweet. Cancer is such a horrible thing, but when you do something, it can turn into something great.

This is wonderful.. We participate in our local Relay for Life, and its a beautiful experience every year...Seeing the survivors and then luminaries for the ones who have passed.. quite breath taking... Thank you for your voice.. xx
