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!
