Survivors

In honor of my community of cancer survivors.

Survivors We do not stand alone, nor  far apart; nor  shoulder to shoulder, but heart to heart. We do not cry alone when grief is deep, we shed tears in company, not ashamed to weep. We laugh and love and dare life to end; we can not break, and so we bend. We learn how to take what has to be taken; and create a new normal head high, unshaken.
