    About this ebook

    These are a selection of poems I chose to print in this book in dedication to all cancer victims and to all the families who have felt the hurt of helplessness at the realization of a fate unplanned and unfair that pulls our very spirit downward.

    The poems were written by Barron Pilgrim with these thoughts in mind and with the hope for a cure. The families and friends that have suffered in past times while hoping for the best and losing a dream in the end. From breast cancer to many other varieties, we fear we are not making progress fast enough.

    We hope you enjoy these scattered thoughts of faith and love. All proceeds will be donated to cancer research. Thank you for helping in this effort by passing on this book to a friend and donating to the cancer foundations and charities to defeat this enemy.
