This poem is dedicated to my sister Misty who battled and won against breast cancer.
I know it must feel strange when people take a second look or maybe even stare
You must think people are rude and how could they dare
But what you can’t see in their eyes is what is in their heart
They’re thinking how you are still buzzing along doing your part
You know that mom, the one that sits endlessly at every game
The one who wouldn’t miss a single minute of their child’s fame
The one who still does anything to help anyone they can
It’s you we are cheering for and are YOUR biggest fan
The one who stares thinks how you must be so strong and so brave
It’s thinking how with all the pressures of life and this awful disease you still do not cave
It’s not thinking about your skin or nails or the hair that fell out
It’s all about how you get up each day with a positive attitude and have not a doubt
I know all this because I’ve watched you fight every step of the way
Never losing your faith nor giving in to Satan’s decay
You have such humility and class and because of all those wonderful traits you possess
You are kicking cancer’s ASS!!
