We
have our hands wrapped,
Gloves
on,
Heads
shaved,
Veins
taped,
We
are ready.
We
have our jaws set,
Eyes
focused,
Pep
talk playing,
Adrenaline
racing,
We
are ready.
We
have our fans cheering,
Coaches
prepped,
Game
plan fixed,
Obstacles
studied,
We
are ready.
We
have our game face on,
IV
Primed,
Medications
pumped,
Vitals
monitored,
We
are ready.
To
Fight,
To
Win,
To
remember:
In
the chaos is compassion,
In
the diagnosis is community.
To
recognize:
Victory
means sharing
Hopes
and sorrows,
Highs
and lows.
We
are a team.
To
acknowledge:
Champions
bind wounds together,
Climb
and fall,
And
pick each other up.
We
are in your corner.
