Grateful

Writer's picture: Surviving Breast CancerSurviving Breast Cancer

By Brookshire McDonald


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!
