COURAGE!
My dear friend Robbin at http://cedarchestofdreams.blogspot.com/ began this year on a warrior's path. She began her journey as a healthy 51 year old woman that needed a hysterectomy. While recuperating, she lost her 30 year old son, Johnathan, to suicide. Then came yet another devastating blow, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Living alone, she faced chemo and grief head on. I am over the moon to announce, that as of TODAY, she is cancer FREE!
She was thrown into menopause, her heart was shattered and yet she fought on. I've come to know and love this amazing woman like a sister. She is my hero. Thank you God for Robbin!
A Warrior's Journey
The fragility of your bearings
were perched on the wind
standing on the ledge of the heavens.
God held you tightly
infusing your veins with his nectar
his sweetness over powered the bitter.
You feared the darkness and the light
yet our prayer's vibrated your soul
lifting you into the spirit of the sky.
You sprouted wings today
as your body begins its renewal
bathed in healing promises.
You can give up the anxiety of endings
and share in the joy of letting go
for today is your new beginning.
God bless you!

This post say so much about the fundamentals of courage. It's so full of heart too. My friend just started a third round of chemo; I pray I can sing this same verse to her soon. Thank you for this.
Tammy, your poetry is beautiful. So full of love and courage. I too am a fighter and facing the fight of my life. I have MSA which has no cure as of yet. I will follow your site and your courage.
Your words flow with a rhythm all you own. Well done my friend and may the lord bless and keep all of you days.
love-bd
