sues Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 My daughter wrote this for me - and I thought others may like it too. SURVIVOR The one who stands tall With shoulders held high. Wearing the bald With a gleam in their eye. The one who looks deeply In the eyes of their kids; Clings to them tightly And kisses their lids. The one who sits crying With hands to their head Cursing, then sighing, Then praying to mend. The one who is lost And unable to scream For in counting the cost They're unable to dream. The one who finds peace In the breaking of dawn. The one who finds comfort In the words of a song. Each faced a day Of unspeakable strain. Each found a way To deal with the pain. Each should be praised, Held high in esteem. They've run the gauntlet And still look serene. So I take my moms hand And take each step as it comes. I walk when she walks And run when she runs. The ending unwritten; The tale still spins... And pray at the end It's she - who will win. written by: Melissa K Ham Nov 20, 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skye Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Such a beautiful way to honor her Mother. She is so talented, and should put a copyright on that poem. From reading your profile, you ARE winning. I pray you continue to get better. Praying for you, and your family. Many Blessings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi sues. The first I read it, I was moved to tears. She "hit it" I called to my friend in Montana who is going through cancer treatment for lymphoma and read it to her too. She had me re-read it. Missy is a very special gal. Have a happy Christmas. Thanks for posting this poem. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
