think pink! nice but what pink represents. does it represent happiness or fake happiness. or the need for happiness. the need of illusion. I guess October still needs for an answer. I think it`s matching the syllables requirement. I liked the term Think pink. good luck

Thank you. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month in the states and pink is the color that denotes breast cancer.

This is a lovely poster type poem for breast cancer. Send it to the Susan Komen organization to see if they will use it. Good luck in the contest.

Breast cancer, if caught in time, can be stopped. Hopefully, one day it can be stopped no matter the stage. My daughter is one survivor of this dreaded disease.
Well done, Buck

Thank you for the encouragement. I spend my time working with cancer survivors - my definition of survivor is not giving up when you hear the dreaded diagnosis - I will be in treatment for the rest of my life, but have learned to embrace it with joy which is what I teach to others. I am happy you enjoyed this and that your daughter is blessed to be whole again.

A lovely tribute and a good reminder to all of us - and almost everyone I know has been touched by a friend or a family member suffering this awful disease. Good job.

Very appropriate for this month of October Breast Awareness month. You may have just reminded someone to get their breast exam and saved a life. God works in mysterious ways. Very well written and thank you for sharing.
