Warrior Star

We learned last week my wife Kathy has cancer — our fight has begun!
This poem is a manifestation of complete victory.

 
Kathy
my warrior

cancer’s foolishly
chosen you as a foe

it’ll never
break your spirit

you are a star

you’ll slay this beast
strike it down

you’ll be
its masters

together
we’ll fight
— ferociously

cancer’s been a fool
to choose you as a foe!


Kathy

    1. Thank you Lisa! I am praying too, but above all, I have taken on the fighting spirit I had as a younger man, as a football player, and a long-haired lifter and bar singer. I feel energy filling me like I have not felt in several decades! I drove out to the mountain mid-week, and pulled over as deep into the forest as I could drive. I spent the afternoon with Kathy, sitting at the edge of a turnoff, under the giant trees, intensely manifesting Kathy’s complete recovery — as Kathy strolled deeper, under the canopy. I am now manifesting every night. I feel the energy coming towards us. Thank you for your part my friend.

    1. I have ever taken no for an answer. I am a quite practiced as a fighter who has never known how to lose, especially in matters of health — even when I get knocked down momentarily. I may not be as strong physically as I used to be, but my spirit has the strength of a dragon my friend — and my resolve is steel in this matter. Thank you Ron, my brother.

  1. Forest bathing – a Japanese tradition – and looking like one that will bring you and Kathy great resolve and strength. Let the battle begin…..and we KNOW who will win! Will be sending you positive thoughts and virtual hugs in the coming months. I went online and found a small boxing glove charm and sent it on a necklace to a dear friend who is fighting this same horrific disease. She wears it every day – she is indeed fighting the good fight as are you and Kathy.

  2. I’m so sorry to learn that Kathy has cancer, but she is fortunate to have you at her side. I hope there are only small battles to be fought in this war. Sending hugs and positive thoughts your way.

    1. Thank you JYP, very much… 🙂 We’ve begun diligently fighting the fight. I’m taking her to a P.E.T. Scan this week and back to her Oncologist. Then next week an appointment back with the ENT Surgeon, and finally a joint conference meeting with the combined medical team to determine the details of the treatment and surgery. The P.E.T. Scan will mark the 4th different location around Seattle that we’ve needed to visit. The combined University of Washington Medical facilities, and their renowned Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, are spread all around the city here. The traveling around is exhausting for Kathy right now, but she is in the care of world class doctors, surgeons, and cancer treatment facilities — so we are blessed.

  3. Sending Kathy and you best wishes, love and prayers! With you by her side, she will emerge a winner. Love your defiant attitude. ??
