Posted: 6/9/2008 3:30:35 AM | Morning all,
Thanks so much for your thoughts, prayers, and lovely words!!
Ya’ll are my support group ya know!! I love ya’ll!!!
So my sister has left
For her vacation so dear
South Pacific, her last trip
I Fear…..
We’ve kept our secret from her
Until she gets back
So she could enjoy herself
Without any flack….
My 2nd sister and my mom’s journey
Will now begin
One I pray
They both will win…..
I’ve filled out the papers
For a Genealogist to see
To screen my blood
For my family and me….
An answer for the future
For all to heed
To prevent this again
Is what we need…..
So as the sun rises today
I can see the light
I feel your prayers
Ya’ll sent last night…..
Thanks so much!!!
Sam

Posted: 6/9/2008 4:30:54 AM | Hi Mari Sam,
I really enjoyed reading your poem. You have great debth of feeling in expressing what
you see. You have a great inner sense of nature around and above you. Not many people have this type of sensitivity.

You and your family are suffering greatly. You are the strength for your family. I beseech Our Lord Christ Jesus with all my heart to bring about a cure for your mum and sisters.
Seek him and he will give you strength, believe in him and pray to him and he will deliver you all and heal you...I truly believe this...My brother-in-law's niece's one year old girl ended up in intensive care...the doctors gave her no hope of surviving...I prayed heartly to my Lord Christ Jesus...and so did all the family pray...after a few days of praying for her she pulled through against all the odds stacked against her by the medical team...So please...hope..and ..pray You are all in my prayers... Mary Julia | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 11:57:12 AM | You guys are the best!!! Thanks so much!!! Your words are helping me through this!!
Update: My mother is now having her radiation treatments started.
My sister who is the sickest, is now in the South Pacific, on what will most likely be her last vacation. But is having a wonderful time, even though she is in need of using a walker now.
My 2nd sister is having her surgery in 2 weeks, and will start Chemo right after.
As for me, Well I am trying to stay positive and I pray all the time!! I think shock is still keeping me numb!
Sun- rays graced my face
Like an angel in the mist
As the Zephyr whispers
"Tis all of us, the angels kissed"
A rainbow formed above
As the clouds parted ways
And through the softest hues
Gave hope for better days....
Love Ya'll
Sam

I made my way
down the embankment
being ever so careful
not to grasp
the dreaded devils club.
Clinging to the tree roots
I lowered myself
gradually,
until I touched
the forest floor.
Cedars and firs
swayed high above me
the sound
penetrating my being,
a continuous
dull roar.
I clambered over
a rotting log
covered
with moss and lichen
and wondered
how many years
it lay there
decaying,
the forest now
reclaiming it.
Through the opening
I could see
the smaller island
and beyond
the whitecaps
of the stormy ocean.
Stepped out
into the howling north wind
I pulled my coat
in tighter.
Skidding
along the
jagged rocks and seaweed,
I bucked
and staggered
making my way.
All I could think about now,
was the warm kitchen
with the wood stove
crackling
and my mothers
fresh homemade bread
and jam. | |

to the realisation
that you are
a star

Posted: 6/18/2008 12:55:01 AM | | Mari, Talk about synchronicity! ..after sending you an email in regards to the challenging time that you and your family are facing right now, a friend of mine dropped into my work place today with the book that I recommended to you, "Love, Medicine and Miracles by Bernie S. Siegel M.D.. I can't help but think that it's meant for me to pass on to you..would you like me to drop it in the mail? | |

| The Forest And The Wind
Posted: 6/18/2008 4:43:00 AM | Sorry, Mari.
````````````````
I don't pray, per-se
but tend to trust
the wind and trees | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 5:56:35 AM | Good Morninng All,
Thank you all for all your support! Tough few weeks here, but reading all your kind words have really helped!!
Taking today for us
Fishing will be stress free
Sunshine and water flowing
The Zephyr calming me
Coffee in one hand
My smokes and my chair
Nature at it’s best
With pine bouquet in the air
My man by my side
My kids casting near
Sandwiches packed
In a cooler of beer…..

Posted: 6/26/2008 2:54:45 PM | Once a child
No worries in life
Grown into a woman
And in time, a wife
Motherhood came easy
Friendships did too
Thought there was nothing
That I couldn’t do
A teacher, a nurse
A lover, a cook
But what I must do
Isn’t in any book
To tell my sister
Of her sister and mom
Will hit her the hardest
Like a nuclear bomb
Yet on Tuesday
I will give her the news
Knowing very well
I’m creating the blues
I’ll hold her hand
And hug her tight
And try to relate
It’ll be alright
Sometimes the truth
Is the hardest to tell
Not for my own sake
But for adding to her hell
I promised no secrets
And to tell her no lies
But I’ll cry right with her
As I look in her eyes……
Sam

Posted: 6/26/2008 3:17:03 PM | yeah.. but, what did y'all catch fishin'?
my phone is always on
when you want a minute to forget about reality
and what about that "used to be a bridge" that's now a ferry?
you used that yet?
I bolted the last seat onto the big boat today
and your aluminum river boat is sitting here waiting
just tell me when to deliver it, okay?
I'm thinking fall walleye fishing in the bluffs if the river ever
crests and ebbs
dad's last fishing trip
I'd like you to be with | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 12:35:55 PM | I'm spirit writing this for mari
back to her hometown of Stillwater, she's on her way
don't expect her delicate beauty
she's writing through me
and she thanks you and loves you for all of the support
there's nothing more comforting than a poem
unless, I'm the one writing it
but, I'll try.. what the fvck?
(made you smile)
I don't even know how to describe you scene
other than violently
and you are nothing but a moon beam
you amaze me
Okay, I'd better not get off on one of my tangents
noone reads the long hallmark cards
Mari's going to see her "healthy sis" up in Stillwater
and the other bookend is on her last cruise
healthy sis being admitted for a heart attack?
or is it just the tumors in her back?
hard to tell when the pain goes all the way through
the spirit quest de jour
anyway.. I'm not going to turn this into anymore of a ramble
she just didn't want you to think that she"d forgot about y'all
and not appreciated your support
or however you spell it
 I love mari | |

I so beg to disagree..dog's poems are often comforting if you know his language *smile.
mari..wishing you continued strength..and when you can't muster it anymore, just go out into some deserted area and SCREAM as loud and as long as you can.. | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 7:41:55 AM | Morning all,
Dog you wrote as best as it could have been wrote!!!! Hugs!!!
Drea, Thanks hun!!! I have many times!!!
Kobold, It was awesome talking to you!!!!
Oldest sister still in hospital with pneumonia, she is the one that has the worse cancer.
2nd sister planning her double Mastectomy in July.
My mom is doing Radiation and Chemo right now.
My head is numb
My emotions run wild
Life is to short
Power of attorney is filed
Doctors rushing
Got slapped in the face
Had to rush her back in
Her life in a race
Now she’s improving
But can only talk
Has to stay in bed now
It’s to hard to walk
I thank ya’ll
For your thoughts, prayers & love
And I know it’s all up to
The lord up above….
Love ya’ll
Sam

Posted: 7/2/2008 7:33:46 AM | A soft yellow Lilly opens
As the sun peaks through
Small diamond droplets dripping
Remnants of the morning dew
A hummingbird sips
The flower’s delight
Darting and dancing
In though-free flight
And just as fast
As he neared
In just a blink
He disappeared………

I want to attract them
the first time that I saw one, I was amazed
just a smaller version without the humming

Posted: 7/8/2008 3:48:23 AM | Morning all,
Run Forest Run!!! LMAO!!
I needed that Dog!!!
Well my sister is out of the hospital and back at home.
She is doing better after having a blood clot in her lung and pneumonia.
She has nurses now that come to the house to help.
Hazy light blue
Behind tinted morning skies
Pink cotton clouds
Precede the sun to rise
Coffee by the window
Just me, and the moment caught
Tranquil and soothing
Lost in my own thought
Colors come to life
As the sun breaks through
The moment is gone
In an ever changing view………
Sam

Posted: 7/8/2008 9:07:11 AM | Beloved Child.....
Darling child.....
come take my hand
I know that you
dont understand,
why all this suffering
hurt and pain
should happen to you
time and again,
but mommas here dear
and if I could
Id suffer the pain
you know I would,
so let me kiss the hurt away,
lie by your side till break of day,
I'll stroke your hair
and nuzzle your head,
I'll rock you gently
as I lay on your bed
and then when I've nursed
that days hurt away
and your quietly sleeping,
I'll creep off to pray.
