For wealth was the reason her parents fought

But instead we engage in some spiritual

Our outward appearance may seem so
pleasant
Our verbal prowess...

Cancer - the Invader
Cancer - The Invader
By Betty Harp Butler

It invades.

When you have always been...

The day when he rings
The bell whom we’ve fled
Our demise...

The Man Who Spoke in Whispers
(for Jim Ducker)
The growth plundered your voice,
robbing it of tone; you spoke
in well-articulated whispers, inhaling
