Katherine
Katherine
My sweet
Angelic friend,
You held my hand when
I needed a caring
Warm hand to hold.
You taught me
How to be bold
When ugly things
You are told
About your
Soulmold.
How frightful
I was when you
Told me you may
Have to go away.
That cancer had
Invaded your
Shapely flesh
Chest.
How I prayed for
You day and night.
I can’t imagine
My life without
You in it guiding
Me through my
Dark tunnel,
Towards the
Shining light.
Now you rage
Against this
Terrible plight,
Spreading your
Bright pink ribbons
And encouragement
To everyone.
Letting women
Know how much
You care and
That you’re
Aware of their
Breast scare.
What a bright
Day it is that
You’re here to
Dare to live
Another day,
Spreading your
Mystical ways.
How lucky we are
To have you with
Us longer as
The world sways.
