The Angel Dressed in Pink

I just came across this poem on the 3Day Message Board. It was written by a teenager still in High School, Karina Rohrdanz, who is trying to walk again in the Boston 3Day walk this year. What an amazing girl to be taking on this physical and emotional challenge for a 2nd time and to be inspiring the rest of us with her writing!

The Angel Dressed in Pink

by Karina Rohrdanz

While skipping down a lone dirt road on a beautiful summer day,

I saw a woman with angel wings, she waved but couldn't stay.

With nothing to do and a curious mind, i decided to follow her feet.

We traveled for miles and became very tired, we just had to take a seat.

What a stunning smile this woman had, and a personality to match.

She soon showed me her battle scars, a chest with no breasts attached.

A triumphant story followed, about her journey to find a cure.

And although she's still a fighter, one day she wont have to fight anymore.

At last i understood this, hugged her, and we cried.

The sun came out from behind the trees and all of our tears dried.

"I wont forget you darling," she said with a wink.

I laughed and shouted back, "i wont forget you either! you're the angel dressed in pink!"
