Analyzing Breast Cancer Poem

A Yearly Testby Dave HarmSaturday, October 22, 2005 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Author Tracker
October is almost over and I needed to write something about this month being "breast cancer awareness month." Six years ago my wife decided that it was time to get into having yearly mammograms. Year one went by and everything was fine. Year two... showed... cancer. It's hard being a man and preaching about mammograms. So all I can say is that a mammogram saved my wife's life. Please also click on the link below, to help those who can't afford a mammogram. The sponsors of this site will donate money everytime the mammogram button is click... so please do it...
It would become a yearly test in a cool room she exposed her breast results the doctor would see made it worthwhile she was cancer free she dreaded her mammogram day but appointments always set she couldn’t stay away wasn’t a fear of death she’d hope we’d see done out of love for her family Things changed that one year she was presented with an unknown fear there was a mass on her left breast uncertainty created an emotional mess a biopsy would be performed memories of her past were reborn thoughts of children’s first step’s yellowed artwork on the refrigerator she always kept Results came back cancer – her body was under attack things began to move fast surgery, chemo – radiation would be last thoughts of a future left her mind serenity and acceptance she would find patiently she waited for year five once again, the future came alive A time of life her family won’t forget they thank God for the goals she set to watch her children grow up strong waiting for grandchildren to come along to grow old with the one she said “I do” neither growing tired of saying “I love you” ©2005 Dave Harm
