You're words will be as stunning as the beauty you possess
You're fight will be portrayed with conviction and success
You're battle will be felt with significance and weight
and you're resonating message will impact the human race
This one's for my cousin Rosanne who is being honored tonight at a Relay for Life, kick off event. She will be a guest speaker at the event tonight as someone living with cancer. She inspires everyone who knows her story because she battles with such gallantry and grace. Despite her illness, she wakes up every morning with a spirited fortitude that even the most optimistic people would envy. She openly discusses every turn of her illness and endures her situation with poise and dignity. She refuses to let cancer define her as she continues to help others, while sustaining a multitude of treatments and trials. She is an intelligent, engaging, expressive individual whose compassion and selflessness conceal her illness. She offers, seemingly effortless, inspiration to others on a daily basis. She's the rainbow in the cancer ward, bending over backwards to bring a ray of hope to anyone who needs a little sunshine and color in their day. She amazes me every day and I wish I could be there tonight to hear her speak, it's sure to be an eloquent display with red lipstick to match her inner vibrancy.
