Three Musketeer
Long thick hair
Blue eyes
And a beautiful soul

Seven months had gone by
About 214 days
175 sick
The rest not to bad
Chemo took it's toll
Ran her down
Had her drained
Never wondered why me
Always kept a smile
Even when the battle was for her life
She been through so much
It's no surprise she never gave up
None of us knew
This was new to us
We took remission as a win
Fight over
No rematch
Mom raise your hands
A proven champion

Back to life
How it use to be
All smiles making plans
Had a follow up late November
Still remember her deep cleaning the day before
Not a spot untouched  
No ***** clothes
Dinner cooked for two nights
Never one to have a purse so I remember thinking
Why is she carrying a bag
I never asked but I think she knew
The beast came back to life
Showing no  mercy
Ran rapid through her body
Before I could ask
Her look gave me my answer

Chemo wasn't a option
Neither was praying to a God
Natural medicine and marijuana were useless
We all stood around confused and just as useless
She made it back home early December
Took a week but made her list
First year she didn't go so we went searching
Seen the hurt when she couldn't get out of bed on Christmas
Held on to see the year 2k
Ninety six hours later she closed her eyes one last time
My hasn't been dry since

I love you mom

I'll never face my biggest fear
I can be at ease knowing the search is forever over
Best friend and soulmate
A beautiful woman to make me feel young as we grow older
Your my rock so let me be your anchor
Keep us safe through the storms
And I promise when the skies clear
We'll both will be wearing captain hats
For without you this boat loses hope
I would sink in sadness trying to drown myself in liquor
But together we can be what Jack and Rose should've been

My nurse and doctor
Teacher and principal
Strongest challenger and loyal teammate
My lover who doubled as life's tour guide
Warm blanket or cool air
Confidence enhancer
My good side
My sanity keeping me level headed
The reminder to my forgetfulness
Intelligent, amazing, beautiful woman
Who if was given the world would take and divide it up
My unselfish queen
I refuse to say goodbye
It won't be long till we're together again
I'll see you soon
Please rest now
No need to worry
I'll be ok as I finish up
Make sure everything's in order before I'm called upon
I thank you, I love you
Now you go and make heaven shine brighter then ever

As the months' pass,
And years go by,
Let us all show our thanks,
To the One who provides

Let us all bless,
His almighty name
So to His goodness,
Our lips will proclaim

He has blessed us,
With mercy and grace,
With hope and strength,
To stay faithful in this race

He has blessed us,
With His merciful and everlasting love,
With His promises,
That we’ll be with Him above

He has blessed us with redemption,
Through Jesus’ blood, we embrace,
For the forgiveness of sin,
Through the richness of His grace

He has blessed us,
With every spiritual blessing,
In the heavenly places in Christ,
So into Him, we’ll keep on pressing
He has blessed us,
With all we could ever need,
Blessed with His word,
Our hunger it can feed!

I look at you and how I am blessed to have met such a human being.
Every morning I spent with you,
makes life worth living.

You remind me to breathe,
and that life’s worth dancing
even when the rain is pouring.

These little memories we painted together;
Has and will always be treasured in my heart...forever.

Blessed is she who surrenders last coin
Giving from lack rather than plenty

Blessed is he who takes inspiration
Single gift multiplied into many

Blessed are those who pass these along
Money dispersed round the earth

Blessed are those who give correct change
Insist you just pay what it's worth

So now blessed am I as I walk along
Her last coin nestled in hand

And when she looks at me with pleading eyes
I withhold, cause here begging is banned

"You’re blessed every second of every day my friend…
We are just blinded by the world’s definition of what a blessing is.
That’s why the revelation is always a shock,
because we have no idea how important we are…
How significant we are, how deserving…our essence, our existence…No blessing has ever been predicted in time…
It’s always in the power of hope and faith.
You’ll know it when it happens…
Remember, it starts with a mere thought to change everything.
If you believe it, trust me…something will give back.
Maybe not today…but it will, because you’ve willed it…"
