Pink

They battle in pink...
leave behind precious
children, husbands, family,

but they have hope...

they lose their hair -
lose their eyebrows -
lose their lashes -
lose their breasts -

but they have hope...

some don't survive -
just fighting to stay alive -
some alone have cried -
while their loved ones died -

but they have hope...

no more self pity
for nothing of substance,

no more fear
when some are so strong...
this is the lesson
that needs to be taught all along...

COURAGE, STRENGTH, HOPE.
