Love is the Way
Only by God’s grace
Mercy, Mercy me
Self detection of a small
tumor in breast, smaller
than a M&M.
No devastation
No worries, no fear.
Following instructions and
preparation for surgery.
Faith and Prayer saving grace.
Feeling goodness of
“Footprints in the Sand”.
No anguish, no pain.
Early detection, bountiful gain.
Radiation treatments were
applied.
In like a lamb, leaves like a tiger.
Time came to ring BELL with
Family and Friends, colorful
Balloons, fragrant flowers and
lovely thoughtful gifts waiting
outside.
Time keeps ticking into the
future.
Four years in remission.
Living each day to the fullest.
Hoping to brighten someone
else’s day.
Patience, kindness, consideration
and love are the way.
