I lost my copy of one of my fav poems. Started out 'FOR every Mother who has it, every sister who saw it, every daughter who got it, every woman who fought it.." ended with " I will survive" Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

    For every
    Mother who has it
    Sister who saw it
    Daughter who got it
    And every one who fought it

    For every
    Man who cried
    Brave soul who died
    Woman who lost their hair
    And endured “that stare”

    For All
    the pain
    the chemo brain
    the tears
    Over the years, I’ve found
    There is no way you could ever take this woman down!
    I am a Survivor!
