Poem
(Dedication: For Tiaua M Ioane)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Here on this earth each soul must walk
From time of birth until death stalks.


Each day hurls forth with stress and strain
As we go north and face each pain.


No matter how or why or when,
Each must face now as brave we can.


Hurts and dis-ease block stumbling ways,
Yet seek true peace despite harsh days.


Cancer seeds near waiting to choke,
Let grace now clear waste that stress yokes.


When pain flings fear, be not afraid,
Let faith see clear to face each dread.


Our weary days bring out our best
If we but stay our heart's true quest.


Carcinogens abound right now
Yet contingent upon fear's plow.


Do not despair when pain and stress
Restrict sure air yet dare court zest.


Each man must face the tides of fate,
Greet time and space through sultry gates.


All more reason to live your terms
Dare face treason and dare fight germs.


Do not give up no matter what,
Fill your own cup with love and art.


Style your own poise with cheery heart,
Grace funds your choice as soul imparts.


When pain attacks your body parts,
Let faith not slack what feelings start.


Go forward now with happy feel,
Cheer heals somehow with fond goodwill.


Dare to live then despite your pains,
Survive bleak trends that surge in vain.


Be still and know sure miracle:
Your true heart shows brave spectacle.


When chips are down, fashion a smile,
You need not frown but live great style.


Life is unfair to one and all,
Do not despair but bear with gall.


Read and align with laughter fond,
Jest and wit sign, cancer absconds!


Laugh at your pain, laugh till it hurts,
Laugh once again to force out dirt.


Let peace abide to bring new light,
Keep love inside to bloom new sights.


Around the bend, see rainbow days
When soul attends true light that stays.


Till then, be brave and live each day
With love that saves the best for play.
