I wrote this poem for my Aunt who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She will soon have her right breast removed.

A quick goodbye to my breast, but only to the right.
You and leftie have been real close, you’ve always been quite tight.

You came together as a pair, but now its time to part.
We always thought we’d be a team, right from the very start.

It’s almost time for my left breast to live its life alone.
It is not fair to separate, it’s something I condone.

The time has come for you to go. You will be missed each day.
This had to happen, it’s quite tragic and I don’t know what to say.

So I say goodbye to you…..the best way I know how.
When I sit and think about it…..I will only have one now.
