John F. McCullagh - With every step we take

Twenty miles, then twenty miles,
then twenty miles again.
We’ll keep on walking, day by day,
towards breast cancer’s end.

With every step, with every stair,
We train to walk this path
To raise the funds to fight the beast
And consign it to the past..

It will be hot, It may be wet
As we traverse the miles
and when we rest, beneath the stars,
We’ll sleep like stones awhile

With every step, with every mile
We’re walking towards a cure
And we would walk a thousand miles
To end its’ reign for sure..

If not in time for one we loved
Perhaps in time for others-
So many suffer scars or worse
where death’s dark angel hovers.

Twenty miles, then twenty miles,
then twenty miles again.
We’ll keep on walking, day by day,
towards breast cancer’s end.

John F. McCullagh
