The path you are on is hard,
But take courage.
It is not impossible,
But it will test you.
Your life will certainly be changed,
Your faith may be shaken,
But there is hope.
Take courage.
There is hope,
And there will be hope,
Until the day when you have won.
And you will win, either way.
Take courage!
Cancer cannot win,
It doesn't know what victory is.
It doesn't know what courage is.
Take courage!
You know what victory is,
You know what courage is.
Both are within your grasp!
Take courage, my friend, and fight!
Author notes
"Think Pink"
This poem is meant as a rallying cry to those who are fighting, and the friends and family of those who are fighting. It also stands as a tribute to those who have fought, and claimed their final victory in death, as my dear friend Chris. She taught me a lot, and I pay tribute to her directly in other pieces. This is a tribute to her courage, which was just one of the things she taught me. Cancer does not know victory, because it never triumphs. The courage of those who it takes triumphs every time.
Cancer. will. never. win.

I like the title of this piece and the message of hope. I also like your AN and mentioned that is also the family who is fighting not just the individual. Thank you for entering
