Punching Out Cancer

 for Lisa


We all harbor a subdued fear

that it may show up in our lives.


You came out of your corner

not expecting this formidable foe.


You accepted the grim prognosis.

Considered it a challenge to conquer.



You put on the gloves

and prepared for the fight.



Your faith in God and self-confidence

was an invincible team. 



You kept pounding your enemy

until it gave in, gave up.



But you never gave up hope,

and now you are a champion!
