This is my 2009 post for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is well ahead of when I managed to do it last year…the end of October is still technically Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but I wanted to get this in at the start.
Take Courage
The path you are on is hard,
But take courage.
It is not impossible,
But it will test you.
Your life will certainly be changed,
Your faith may be shaken,
But there is hope.
Take courage.
There is hope,
And there will be hope,
Until the day when you have won.
And you will win, either way.
Take courage!
Cancer cannot win,
It doesn’t know what victory is.
It doesn’t know what courage is.
Take courage!
You know what victory is,
You know what courage is.
Both are within your grasp!
Take courage, my friend, and fight!
Of course, this poem could apply to all who are engaged in a battle with any form of cancer, so please don’t just pigeonhole it for this month. It stands also as a tribute to those who have fought and claimed a final victory in death.
That is a really encouraging poem ~ I love it!
Thanks, Jan.
I felt obliged to write something, for obvious reasons.
