Notes About The Poem

A dear friend quit all radiation and chemo after a grueling and long fight. She's done!  And I honor and applaud her!

Now

Now?

Your bravery takes my breath away, 
Time to lay down your weapons and rest,

Perhaps it's time to let your ravaged, exhausted
body float into the clouds 
to be greeted by those who love you

Only you can know, decide,
