I am writing to you in order to share a beautiful poem my daughter Angela wrote. Angela is 12 and in Grade 7 and was given a recent assignment by her teacher to write a poem about a colour.
She chose the colour ‘Pink’ and wrote the poem. She also had to somehow ‘portray’ the poem in her own chosen way. I know I am biased since I am her proud mother but I think her poem is just beautiful and I wanted to share it.

Pink
Pink is a colour of hope
A colour of faith, confidence,
and everything feminine
Pink is a riboon
A ribbon for breast cancer awareness
Pink is comforting
A soft pillow to lay your head on
Pink is your best friend
A person to trust
Pink is the smell of a rose after it’s just rained
A pretty scent it is
A splendid colour it is
Beautifully said and insightful! Wisdom beyond her twelve young years. I am a patient advocate and volunteer ambassador for the American Cancer Society now, though I canvassed for the Canadian Cancer Society at age 9. I have volunteered in pediatric oncology for the last 7 yrs and I have to say I really admire this young lady’s sensitivity and empathy. Beautifully inspiring! I am sure many patients would really appreciate this, thanks for sharing it.
Sincerely,
