This week has been a very emotional one for my family. One of my cousins was diagnosed with breast cancer, and another cousin, on the same side, passed away from having cancer. Two of my aunts have recently recovered from cancer, and so the girls in my family have a new motto, "Fight Like a Girl." I decided, as a tribute to all women who have suffered with cancer, to write a poem.
Fight Like a Girl
When you get the news of that dreaded disease,
You immediately start to fall on your knees.
You think God will never hear your pleas,
Try instead, to think of the day you can seize.
Think of the many people you love.
Think of the many gifts from above.
Life can be gentle as a dove,
Or it can be harsh like a push or a shove.
Life has its mysteries you want to unfurl
Before you go out with a curtsy and twirl.
You feel very weak, your head's in a whirl,
But remember to fight, fight like a girl.
-Michelle
