PINK RIBBON OF COURAGE

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.
