The Bridge to Survival
Ordinary woman...me,
Till cancer called
And rocked my world.
Someone offered
a hand of hope
And a healing stream of
magic words,
"There's something that
outshines ordinary;
We'll find it as we
cross this bridge together."
A short walk...
Ordinary woman turned survivor...
looking back...
holding out a hand
for the next ordinary woman.

Words for Angela
See -
soft rain falling
on sweet new grass
as blackbird shakes
his bath wet
feathers
Hear -
music of Hayden
gently played
while pigeons flap
over bee laden flowers
Smell -
yeasty bread straight
from the bakery
spread with raspberry
homemade jam
Taste -
freshly picked
strawberries covered
lightly in yellow cream
from the dairy
Touch -
soft delicate petals
of a small pink rose
feeling its
power
to calm and refresh
