Hope
Honor
Pride

Families suffering
For a cause we can’t quite detect
So strong
Not even trained professionals can pronounce.
Cancer

It runs through our body
Thoroughly infecting every cell trying to resist.
Creating pain
Reminding patients the courage it takes
To act upon this crisis.
Causing tears
Swelling every pore
With remorse.

Knowledge
Bravery
Life

Nothing can recreate the
Pain
Courage
Cancer
