Everyone has a dream they wish to come true,
And I'm sure there's nothing they wouldn't do,
Whether to gain money or to become a superstar
Whatever the case it doesn't matter how far.

For if their desire is truly that strong,
For that goal they will continue on and on,
This fact is something that none can refute
Even if the reasoning they can not possibly compute.

And so such is the case for me,
And now I will tell you all this honestly,
Though I do not have much to offer anyone
That does not mean I'm going to run.

I want to make differences if I can
so much more than anyone could try to comprehend,
I want to try even if I fail
Right now there isn't a path I wouldn't scale.

But what's the desire I wish to fulfill?
What was in my mind that did instill?
To save lives in a way open to me,
A live ***** donor-is what I'll be!
I'm serious when i say that a live ***** donor is what i long to be. I've been working towards this goal for years. I want to be a live ***** donor so i can see the results. I don't intend to stop until i reach that goal.

When I was young so long ago,
Threatened I was; though I didn't know,
My parents feared as to my fate-
Afraid that the doctors would be too late.

And the doctors did all that they could,
For the fear of my parents they understood,
They opened my skull and saw the mass-
Knowing that they had to move fast.

Many at the time thought those efforts to be in vain,
For my life this tumor continued to drain,
But those doctor's efforts weren't destined to be lost-
For God had not let my death be the cost.

To show I understand what it is you're going through,
I've brought this message of encouragement for you,
For Christmas is the time of giving: as God's done-
And I do hope this will bring joy to everyone.
This is not just a story- When I was young I had a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit.....I barely survived.....and now several yrs later I went on December 23 with my church choir to carol for both the doctors and child/ families etc...who were going through the same thing as me or just as bad....children's hospital was like unfortunately a home for me when I was young.....so / those I saw in the hospital I did understand.

It happened one day, once long ago-
But little did these children know,
Just who it was to visit them-
Twas not an enemy; but twas a friend.

The sky lit up with holy light,
The children concerned at such a sight,
Yet, "Fear not",tis what was said-
And instead wonder replaced their dread.

And this message proved quite simple indeed,
For Our Lady needed to plant a seed,
To pray the rosary;twas the request,
For all:this would prove to be a test.

But tis a warning Our Lady gave,
To those saying the rosary-they'd be saved,
But to those the rosary they didn't pray-
A war would not be far away.

Today this message still applies,
To all Catholics far and wide,
One day this premonition we'll see
Only through prayer and rosary will we be free!
I'm Catholic so I do believe this. Everyone should keep this in mind...
As Catholics we must do our best or we'll never reach eternal rest.
