What can I say to Mary? <br />She has found a lump. <br />It's meaning is scary. <br /> <br />She says this time it's painful. <br />The testing begins <br />Mammogram disdainful. <br /> <br />She is angry, frightened and sad. <br />A hollow inside. <br />This shouldn't happen, it's bad! <br /> <br />Everything she must go through, <br />It's all in her head, <br />The memories ten years new. <br /> <br />I want to hold her hand <br />And give her a hug <br />For each step she must take. <br /> <br />I cannot stop what's happening. <br />We cannot run away. <br />So stay and face each day. <br /> <br />And travel this difficult road. <br />One moment, one minute, one hour, one day. <br />One step at a time, all the way. <br /> <br />(4.18.7 Otherwise)<br /><br />Heather Z.
