Gazing in the mirror, I see a warrior’s face. Fully clothed in armor, No fear and no disgrace. A tear it never offers, A smile it always gives, No sadness does it show, But what a life it lives. Needles going in As blood is taken out, But still no sign of pain, No cries to make you doubt. Each day you see this person, And think that they’re so brave, Each day you see us laughing, The tears are ours to save. So when you see our armor, And think we’re calm and mild, Remember this one

thing the warrior is a child. Thank-you to the judge who chose this image as POTD today. This is my little warrior Makenna and she is a Cancer Survivor.

She's beautiful, Alex! Love the Sepia touch! I see the trust deep within her eyes...for you to be her strength. Best of luck! Children have regenerating qualities older people don't. Congrats on a very moving POTD win!

Exquisite portrait Alex! You should be so very proud... not only of your photo but of the beautiful warrior you have there! She is indeed a treasure and so is the poem!

Thank-you everyone for the kind comments. Makenna was diagnosed with Bi-Lateral Retinoblastoma at the age of 3 months old. She had her right eye removed and underwent 2 years of treatment to save her left eye. We are now almost 4 years in remission. I have taken many portraits of my daughter, but for some reason this one strikes a chord for me.
