Looking for the words ....




A couple of weeks ago I was asked to participate in the Relay for Life Luminary Ceremony by reading a couple of poems. The organizers provided me with a list of poems that I could choose from and I was also given the option of writing one of my own, should I so choose. That sounds like a fabulous idea to me, but I need to sit down, dig deep, and find the words to put on paper.

I am sure the motivation will come soon; probably when I least expect it - as it normally does. My task will be to put into words the thoughts and feelings of those who walk the track in silence, remembering those who have passed, those who are fighting, and those who have survived another year to join their comrades in the heart warming and wrenching ceremony.

I pray that I am able to do this assignment justice and honour the lives of those touched by cancer.

Until next time ....
B-Optimistic! 
