He guides us past the earth's drop

and catches us lightly

in a fall of stars;



flies us through a flare that sears 

bright through our hearts

at the thought of leaving.

He stands us up



at the foot of a hill

we think is a mountain, 

and in the grasp of a steady hand, 

we find ourselves

strong enough to make it 

to the summit -



breathless, but more alive 

than expected, with so many miles 

and a lifetime ahead,

still walking on solid ground.

Bee...I just wish you could me smiling and crying, both at the same time, but the smile is winning through. How could it not?  This wonderful poem is an inspiration to us all, no matter what obstacles lie ahead of us.

Sunshine winging its way to you as I writesmiley And that's a promise.

How often doctors of skill also seem to have emotionally supportive skills and ability with communication also, which is extra-helpful, and encourages onward. Not that they can travel with us as a heavenly Father can, but all the human encouragement and help to make the most of the days, must be so appreciated. Much love, Rhiannon

I'm glad. Thanks insert. I want to dedicate my pamphlet to him and use this poem at the front. I just hope I can manage to be around to give it to him personally. He made me feel so brave when I most needed to.

What a wonderful poem Bee, I too hope your Surgeon gets to read this.

I cannot begin to know what you've been through, but I really hope you can win this battle.

Take care and thinking of you with positive thoughts.

Jenny.

You've stayed with me, Jenny, but I think there comes a time to relax and know your beat.
