This pin is a badge of courage,
Created to honor you.
HOPE, HEALTH, and HEALING it stands for
And it acknowledges what you've been through.
You now have new HOPE for the future
New things to do each day,
Renewed HEALTH you now will also possess
For that cancer has been put away.
HEALING takes place on many levels
In your mind, body, and soul,
But you will be healed and will move ahead
For that is your ultimate goal
So wear this pin as a symbol
Of all that you have been through.
But wear it also to honor other cancer warriors
Who are also starting anew.
