Katherine

My sweet

Angelic friend,

You held my hand when

I needed a caring

Warm hand to hold.

 

You taught me

How to be bold

When ugly things

You are told

About your

Soulmold.

 

How frightful

I was when you

Told me you may

Have to go away.

 

That cancer had

Invaded your

Shapely flesh

Chest.

 

How I prayed for

You day and night.

I can’t imagine

My life without

You in it guiding

Me through my

Dark tunnel,

Towards the

Shining light.

 

Now you rage

Against this

Terrible plight,

Spreading your

Bright pink ribbons

And encouragement

To everyone.

 

Letting women

Know how much

You care and

That you’re

Aware of their

Breast scare.

 

What a bright

Day it is that

You’re here to

Dare to live

Another day,

Spreading your

Mystical ways.

 

How lucky we are

To have you with

Us longer as

The world sways.

This is what everybody hopes for in that kind of situation, besides recovery. The club i'm part of , HOSA - which is a medical club- is doing fundraisers and other stuff to raise awarness off this type of thing, this was very inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

This is the story of an amazing bond. The love you have expressed here
knows no limits..or boundaries.

Very hopeful and heartfelt write. Nice layout too. What a terrible disease. Imagine that the gov't is trying to recommend less mammograms to save money...

Cancer is a terrible debillitating and demoralizing thing. When we can cure it, it is a beacon of hope to all.
