Strength
I’m learning a lot
about strength these days.
Strength is
wanting to go to school
even though you’re sick.
Strength is
not wearing a hat
and not caring who sees your bald head.
Strength is
smiling and giggling
even though chemo exhausts you.
Strenth is
being 7 years old (almost)
and fighting cancer like a warrior.
Strength
walks with a walker
has a tumor in her knee
had 45 staples removed after the last surgery
lost all her hair
is afraid to go to sleep
smiles
giggles
burps like a champion
teaches grown ups video games
loves the color pink
loves butterflies
lives.
