Ronald Smith Poet Blank verse

A Brighter Tomorrow

For many years I went to sleep every night dreading tomorrow.  Because when 
tomorrow came that usually meant another love one is dying, died or been given 
the death sentence known as breast cancer.  But that was then and this is now.  
Now when I sleep because of pink I look to awake to a brighter tomorrow.   A 
brighter tomorrow where breast cancer is discovered early enough that everyone 
with it can be in remission and live a full healthy life.  A brighter tomorrow where 
the gene that causes the cancer can be removed so mothers don't have to worry 
whether or not their daughters will contract the disease.  A brighter tomorrow 
where husband like me don't have to watch the love of our life slow wilt and die 
but instead we get to grow old and gray with the one we love.  I dream of waking 
up in the morning and seeing the sun's yellow rays pink because this will 
symbolize a truly brighter tomorrow because they have found a cure and that day 
will truly be a brighter tomorrow for sure.
