Team Logan - No one fights alone!

Close the Door When You Leave I never asked you to visit … at least I don’t believe I did
 Maybe…I don’t know 
It’s so confusing At any rate, you’re a rude guest
 You take my energy, rob my sleep, and with a stick
 You swirl and distort my dreams All right, you are here — for now
 But understand
 There are two places that are forever off limits You may not tread on my spirit 
You may not occupy my soul I have heard of your visits to others
 I know the damage you leave in your path
The wanton disregard for innocence, value, and what some would call fairness Also, I hear that laughter confuses you; that good foods make you feel bad, and
That nothing causes you more distress than an autumn sunset, the forever blue of a
summer sky,
 Or the unconditional radiance of a child’s smile Listen and understand
 You might pilfer my closets, empty all the drawers, and trash my house
 But there are two places forever off limits You may not tread on my spirit
 You may not occupy my soul Do not mistake my nausea, weakness, and pain as signs of your victory
 They are simply small dents in the armor I wear to fight you
Instead, look deeply into my eyes They will once again remind you that there are two places forever off limits You must not…
May not…
Will not tread on my spirit You must not…
May not…
Will not occupy my soul Copyright © 2000 by Michael Hayes Samuelson Michael is a male breast cancer survivor & is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Above is his poem to cancer, which I adore. He also has a truly inspirational daughter who was unfortunately diagnosed last year. Logan has shown amazing strength & determination to not let her diagnosis ruin her life. Unfortunately the cancer has shown up in her lungs, but I don't doubt she'll beat this as well. Finding out she is the same age as me & has two adorable sons has definitely given me the push to take part. Around the same time that Logan was diagnosed, my sister-in-law got the same news. Thankfully they caught Shelby's quickly & she has now got the all clear. She's been an inspiration as well, being determined to do whatever it takes to ensure she gets to see her son grow up. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
