She has come...
She has come...
when we were not looking.
unwanted still,
she opens the door
the fear of generations past
this genealogy is sad
with fear because she is here
we go mad....
keeping silence we think to conquer
growing weaker all the same
hiding the pain
as if it is shame...
finally we realize the falsehoods
and that this life is not all there is
but if were going to make it in the end
we must pull together, again
she has come
with all her cruel reality
with such finality
the cancer has come....

Brave Ladies all...
and the families that have lived within the midst of that rain...
and the survivors of Breast Cancer...

Cancer is an unwelcome tenant. It always leaves heartache. My Mother in law died of cancer. My Grandmother died of cancer. I have two aunts who died of cancer. I hate that disease. I hope they find a cure so it will not come any more.
