WHAT PINK?
To my friend Ann Silberman – a cancer a**kicker.
Sickness is part of life, but
you’re handling it
with so much compassion and perseverance
As graceful and elegant as you
truly are
from the chemotherapy to the
mastectomy that you faced
you’re doing so with courage
and you’re full of awareness.
To me, you are awakened when you
realized
“My cancer is me, my cells.
My stubborn, self-willed cells.
Why would they be any less
determined than I am to live, to survive?”
Yet your determination to live has
the foundation of love and compassion
Of wisdom and altruism
You’ll overcome another hurdle
with devotion to serve
I admire your willingness to heal
yourself as well as others
- an act of selflessness
I also appreciate and promote your
openness, honesty, and attitude
Your fighting spirit is marching
on
Living, learning and loving
Find the joy and beauty in the
ordinary things
Even the tiny smallest things
Cherish the things that you have
and things that you don’t have
You’re the true champion of love
and benevolence.
