"Selebrating Sue"

 I can't put it into a poem...

don't think I can find the phrases..

to rhyme the lines or emotions..

to express... the feeling this day brings.

 

2 years ago this month... a simple test

brought news to me.. of foreign growth..

inside my breast... a change I didn't except easily

being a soul that runs free and wild

following almost an inner child...

 

I fought my battle standing my ground....

with little to do with medicines found...

and the battle now lies... dormant in me...

the last time they peeked.. it read...

letting her live her life...  almost free...

 

but today my daughter who now stands a woman

a high school senior and mother herself...

stands proudly for me.. for the stand that I take...

and leads a team... for a causes sake...

 

will raise money and participate.. proud and strong

not only for me... but for others who hold on...

for the aunt, the grandmother.. the friend.. the stranger...

bringing awareness... giving some hope... shining a light...

 

and the team that she leads ... she stood and looked...

it's called.. "Selebrating Sue" .. mom ... 'Just for you'.

'because you've been so strong..'

I was left..

touched deeper, than any word could ever reach.

and I guess it's become...  a gathering of words anyway.

A perfect way to capture a day.. I always want to remember.
