Bravery in your soul

Bravery comes from within your soul
Where the core of your strength resides
Your courage is in the shelter that protects you
So heroically ~ you reflect life in sunshine
In admiration, I applaud you Janelle
Facing this disease with so much grace
Amazed at the courage your smile portrays
As you stare down Cancer’s ugly face
Others would just crumble and weaken
Would deteriorate and fall apart
I’m sure you have had your moments
When your world seemed cold and dark
So when the darkness comes to suffocate your light
When you are tired and feeling so alone
Know that God only gives you as much as you can bear
And with Him, you are never alone
Janelle and Deric ~ I whisper prayers for you
I care for what you face every day
As you brave this crippling nightmare
May pieces of Gods ‘sunshine guide your way

As the sunlight drizzles

As the sunlight drizzles the edge of the evening sky
And the silent breeze whispers to your emptiness inside
Taste the tears that melt your dreams in the middle of the night
Feel the wind blowing, as the clouds chase the sunlight
Drifting through each moment ~ wondering why, oh why
Searching for the reasons ~ sometimes numb inside
Drowning in this dark and empty space
Your tears give way to awareness, as you float in another place
Stumbling through your heartache, you hear Gods voice of reason
Bringing you peace ~ something else to believe in
You will see tomorrow’s sunshine ~ in the midst of this crazy storm
Your heart will open wider to the secrets reborn
God will reveal His beauty to your heart more and more
And this time it will be sweeter ~ to lift you higher than before.

Every teardrop

Every tear drop creates a memory
to shelter you from the storm
to ease the grief that pains you
and allows our heart to mourn
Today, as you remember
Let good memories drench your heart
May the angel’s sing a little louder
To comfort the sadness in your heart  

Sharing your spirit

As your meet another birthday
We celebrate you ~ with a glass of wine
We raise a toast to an exceptional woman
Who lives her life in style
You do what you do with passion
Enjoying the richness of what life holds
Allowing your dreams to inspire you
Sharing your spirit, your heart and soul

As you meet another birthday

As you meet another birthday
We raise a toast on your special day
In honor of an exceptional woman
Who paints her life in a unique way
Living life to the fullest
Where life’s adventure beckons your name
You celebrate life with such passion
As your reach higher from where you came
Embrace each and every moment
For life is yours to define
Discover the world of your tomorrows
Always reach for the stars and shine

Every step I took ~ a silent prayer,
For those who suffer this cruel disease
Every dollar raised ~ a tear drop
For survivors;  for those deceased
Together we can make a difference
Your support gave me the strength to endure
Teaching me there’s no comparison
To those who suffer ~ oh so much more
Every step that I took ~ with purpose
To help prevent cancer attacking every 3 minutes
I proudly walked to make a difference
That’s why I am “in it, to end it”
I walked so that my beautiful granddaughter
Might never, never be
Part of a statistic or a measurement
Of those 3 minute facts of the disease
So my 39.3 miles meant so much more
than just walking
It’s a statement ~ meaning
“together we can overcome”
It means that blisters don’t need chemo
So we will walk on……and on ….and on
