Wanda Woman

No matter what’s in front of you Wanda Woman is behind you Wanda Woman! No matter what’s behind you Butterflies gonna pull for you! She’s a dancer, cancer Can’t kill her soul She’s a winner, and in her Is a heart of gold She’s a mother, lover A grand-mom too She’s a tougher, warrior Than the “x” you know who. No matter what’s in front of you Wanda Woman is behind you Wanda Woman! No matter what’s behind you Butterflies gonna pull for you! Chemo won’t flow like her in her stride So cold, so broke She feels when she cries But then, she grins As someone walks in You see, she’s a queen Stronger than an elephant.

Hope, a fighting spirit and positivity certainly help with a serious disease. Your poem is nicely written, and so optimistic. Blessings, Evelyn

It was easy to pen the life experience of my aunt Wanda who beat breast cancer in exactly this same spirit. Thanks for helping me honor her during this breast cancer month.

Everyone faces things differently, but being strong and positive are the best ways to face situations like this. Nicely done

That is too sad. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks I lost a cousin age 26 to breast cancer. Her mom and my aunt Wanda had it to but beat it. Aunt Wanda died from covid this January and soon after the other aunt died too. So much of my music and stories they inspire.
