One day I woke up
Feeling normal as can be
Not realizing that something, anything
was quietly attacking me.
I looked in the mirror
I saw the same beautiful woman
Strong, confident, loving and well
looking back at me.
Something just does not feel right,
Not feeling like my usual self, I took a shower that night.
I did my usual check of my body, the way I was told was best.
Oh my Lord, I found a bump on the left side of my chest!
All of a sudden life became spastic
And some things became too much, began feeling frantic
Certain things were driving me crazy
Running around, thinking too hard, wondering why me?
I started asking friends
I eventually called the doctor
He called later that week and told me what was the matter...
He said that I have Breast Cancer...
He told me the truth and the game plan, backing it all with the facts
and reassured me that it was good we caught it early in the act.
After everything was done and declared "clear"
They gave me a pamphlet and told me to if I need to talk go here,
they will always listen and they know all about the fear.
They are a wonderful group of women
Some just found out, some just started chemotherapy,
it was a support group called Sister Will You Help Me.
I said: I don't need support, I need medicine
They said: You'll get everything you need the moment you walk in.
I walked in the room, you could feel the love,
support and admiration in the air.
The most amazing part was,
the love for the ones past was still there.
I sit and watch what they do and commune with each other,
friends, sisters, aunts, daughters and mothers.
Then they sit and speak of community outreach beyond compare,
At the end of the night numbers were exchanged by people who really care.
I just discoverd that they were right
I felt well supported by the end of that night
So with all of that being said and true
I ask this question of you....
Sister Will You Let Me Help You?
