Someone said it's cancer month / week .. so just wanted to share this poem ...
In this month of wearing pink ... I ask you all to stop and think ....
Beond the sparkles, fluff and glow .... to fears so many of us know ...
Of those who lost their dreadfull fight ... and stepped into eternal night ....
The pain of those still fighting here ...through tears of pain and darkest fear ...
Of those today ,who under knife ...daughter, father, husband or wife ...
Will face a body scared and changed ... a life in chaos, rearranged ....
To those who sit in chemos chair ... and wondered how they happened there ...
Choices made ? Unlucky chance ? We move within the saddest dance ...
There is a light, but not for all ... some will stay and some will fall ...
For those still here with new life built .... we feel the pain, we feel the guilt ...
We hold within our greatfull hands ... each precious day , like grains of sand ....
That pass to quickly, swift in flight ... we feel each moment, hold on tight ...
It doesn't stop when treatment ends .. our minds in moments , twist and bend ...
We strive towards that joyous day ... when no one looses life this way ...
In memory of Jess... my granddaughter who lost her fight last week ....
And my beautiful brave niece , in the middle of her chemo
