Pap test

Nov 19, 2024

Within the depths of science's gaze,
A test emerges to amaze.
Its mission clear, its purpose strong,
To guard the cervix all life long.

Dr. Papanikolaou's brilliant mind,
A gift of health for womankind.
A brush, a stroke, a sample small,
A silent shield to guard us all.

Microscope's lens, a galaxy vast,
Exploring cells from future to past.
Abnormal shapes, a whispered plea,
“Detect us now, set the body free.”

HPV's shadow, quiet yet near,
Its subtle changes demand our ear.
A Pap test calls to seek and find,
The clues to keep our health aligned.

From twenty-one, the journey starts,
A test for life, a work of art.
Every three years, a rhythm we keep,
A promise to ourselves, profound and deep.

Beyond sixty-five, the vigil may cease,
If history grants a healthful peace.
A gentle reminder, science imparts,
Prevention saves, protects our hearts.

The cervix, a portal of mystery,
Holds secrets to life's sacred history.
Let Pap tests guide with steady light,
A beacon in the cervical night.

With every exam, a future secured,
Cervical cancer, a fight endured.
So let us honor this simple quest,
The power of knowledge through the Pap test.
