Desiree

In the gallery of life, a portrait unveiled,

Desiree, a canvas where stories are detailed.

A painting that echoes the young and the brave,

Through the cancer journey, an ocean they navigate.

Brush strokes whisper tales of courage untold,

A collective struggle, a journey unfolds.

In the hues of strength and resilience combined,

Desiree's colors, a tribute to the human mind.

Reflections in each shade, a mirror to the past,

The artist's own journey, a shadow it casts.

Through the canvas, history weaves its thread,

A tapestry of battles, where hope is bred.

Young hearts in the throes of a daunting fight,

Yet, in Desiree's gaze, there's a radiant light.

A symbol of perseverance, a beacon so bright,

In the midst of darkness, a glimmer of might.

Oh, Desiree, a name etched in the paint,

A tribute to struggles, both strong and quaint.

In the strokes, a connection, a shared embrace,

A painting that whispers of strength and grace.

So let the gallery walls echo the song,

Of young souls resilient, in courage strong.

Desiree, a portrait of battles and glee,

In the canvas of life, a masterpiece, free.
