Blue Wall of Hope

On one of my many trips to Atlanta Breast Care Specialist I wrote this poem called "Blue Wall of Hope"  For people who have not read it yet I wanted to share some insite into a world filled with hope and comradery.

 

Today I was at Atlanta Breast Care Specialist waiting to get my mammogram and a poem (of sort) came to my mind.  Imagine sitting in a waiting room with all women dressed in blue robes each woman waiting to go back for testing.  Knowing you are in a place where you have one thing in common with every woman sitting around you, cancer…breast cancer.   Now imagine as you look at the faces of each woman her expression slightly different than the other.  One woman looks scared her eyes filled with tears, one woman chats with a nervous smile, one woman reading her magazine trying to desperately pass the time.  Yet again sitting together, we all have one thing in common: HOPE.

Here is the poem that came to mind as I sat there this morning waiting for my own results:

Blue Wall of Hope

We sit here together, sisters of a sort

Standing strong, united in our blue wall of hope

One by one we are called the others sit waiting

Together we still wear our blue wall of hope.

Each sister shares her own unique story,

But we are connected together as a blue wall of hope.

-          Cara Coleman

I believe in HOPE and I believe that each one of my sisters in the fight against breast cancer will see a victory.  I am blessed for today, I am blessed for my body, I am blessed to know I am not alone.
