When soldiers fight in a battle and are wounded or killed They receive a purple heart as proof that they fell There are several women who have fought a deadly battle Therefore, they should also receive a pink ribbon medal
Who are these women that have earned the right To wear the Pink Ribbon of Courage as a symbol of their fight? They come from here, there and all walks of life Career woman, neighbor, friend, sister, mother, and wife
This sisterhood supports and envelopes all new members And for all non-members they want you to remember Until we rid Breast Cancer in the World forever This sisterhood will continue to grow despite our endeavors
So remember the next time you see a pink ribbon You could become part of this sisterhood as Breast Cancer’s next victim However, take heart as you are not alone Your sisters are only as far away as your phone

About this poem:
My Mom had breast cancer in 1999 and had a mastectomy and survived for 9 more years and passed away from another diagnosis. Also, recently I have had several friends who have been diagnosed and survived. Unfortunately, one of my classmates did not. Wanted to honor them for their the battle they have been through.
Thank you Titan and Rapture. I'm not the best poet in the world, but feel moved to write something once in a while when I'm upset about something or feeling strongly about something.
