Spared
A woman stood on the shore looking out to sea,
A contented smile on her face with a look of glee.
Others struggled with emotional fear after failing the test.
She knew that fear when she found the lump within her breast
Comfort to them all she would give.
Encouragement for each one to live.
Her tests were negative, her own battle was won.
She now celebrated with joy each day’s rising sun.

Poignant - thank you for this, brings a tear to my eye x
As a cancer survivor, I really connected with your words, Kathy. My aunt had breast cancer back in the 70's. She never had a recurrence. Indeed, she was thankful for every day God gave her. Breast cancer touches so many lives...so many we never hear about. The being 'aware' of this disease will, hopefully, bring about a cure for all those who face this diagnosis. Thank you for sharing this with everyone....Mattie
