One week into Breast Cancer Awareness month and pink is everywhere! I love how a simple color raises awareness in young and old alike. Today I am sharing a poem written by my teenage neighbor. Chase has graciously given me permission to post this work which he wrote about a year ago. Very sad but very touching. Thank you Chase for allowing me to post this!
Breast Cancer
Chase Snethen
As that pink ribbon lay upon her tomb,
everyone gathered to pray in gloom.
Once a woman so strong and free,
was so abruptly taken from me.
The tears they flowed down to my chin,
her once little buddy, I was her only kin.
This beautiful woman who I adore,
was ripped from me with breast cancer , stage 4.
The news came to me through the phone,
from deep down inside I could feel a groan.
Her face was wet with all her tears,
as she came to realize all her fears.
This bad dream had now come to life,
as her husband had lost his lovely wife.
A poor young child now with no mother,
to them, there will never be another.
