A BEAUTIFUL GIFT

Yesterday morning, I found this exquisitely written poem in an email from a dear friend.  She wrote it to me, for me and I am touched in ways I can't begin to describe.  She was one of the many, many people as Martina McBride sings so beautifully, who loved me through it.....  and an army of people who continue to love me through survivorship as I move in

Anew Direction.     

For Anne Marie ...

What is left

When a body is mutilated

To fight Dis-ease?

What is left

When the curing

Takes the mind?

Why, What is left

Is Shining Spirit

Emerging from the brutal battle

For Life

What is Left

Is what is Real

And it is fierce, this Beauty!

Love,

Carmen, this takes my breath away...... xoxoxox
