On Deck For A Cause Poem by Deanna Samuels

Just completed a 5k walk around Deck 4 on Zuiderdam
An amazing cause in memory of those struck by cancer
For all the friends and family who succumbed, lost the battle
For those who have struggled, fought the fight, survived
The walk was for all of them, keeping them close to our heart
To remember the times they were with us and with us still
Fondly thinking of their memory, many cut down in their prime
A hundred passengers or more walked Deck 4 this morn
To fight for the cause, give hope and finally conquer
