A Poem For The Sickle Cell Heroes
September is unique why? It is the month of hope for people living with Sickle Cell around the globe. It is a sad time for me because I keep thinking about the Friends and Loved ones I have lost to Sickle Cell. Do you know what it means to be strong? Ask a Sickle cell Patient, there are times, I have many questions about Sickle Cell and no answers; one of the questions I always ask myself is this: Is it a curse?
We will continue to fight the good fight and overcome all power of Sickle cell.
Here is a Poem to the Sickle Cell Heroes
Today I celebrate the courageous people battling Sickle cell.
I wish the world would see how strong these heroes are.
I wish the world would celebrate these heroes more than celebrities in Hollywood.
I wish there would be more laughter than crying in their lives.
I wish they would have more joy than pain in their spirits.
I wish they could eat more and take fewer medications.
I wish they could have more fun than being hospitalized.
I wish they could have the voice to express themselves.
Above all, I wish there could be a cure for Sickle cell.
Dedicated to Tibinta Fatmata Kamara, who fought the Sickle cell battle so hard!
