I once wrote an essay
Entitled my three “tits”.
Now I am inspired to write
A poem to “it”.
Most of you are quite aware
Breast cancer I had in my two
Which has made me express
More compassion and love for you.
This year marks cancer anniversary
Of number seventeen.
Through each of those I have been blessed
During the days in between.
You are in my prayers every night
Of the week,
As on your journey
Peace you do seek.
To have found a new asset
Of awareness of others
Has been a true blessing
From my sisters and brothers.
I am grateful beyond all of this
In my life
That I didn’t have the third “tit”
To bring me added strife!
