First was the  shock

Hit by a truck

Statistics grim

Prognosis-yuck

We fought together, you and I

Persistence, humor, a dollop of grit

Defiant battle cries as we took the hits

Some came and fought a battle or two

Many the whole time…the one’s like you

Round two-a surprise…..I’ve often asked why

A protracted war…it made me cry

Our fight club continues in this roundabout way 

We lost another sister just the other day

“How can you go-it’s just so sad?”

But being with these women actually makes me glad

They never give up

Play on

Play on

Radiant faces in various stages

Fighting the ravages-cancer’s wages

Support and prayer

An idea or two

These women in earnest

Elevate you

What is your fight club?

Where do you go?

Who are the people who raise your bar?

I think if you’ll look it won’t be too far.
