Seek not the light at the end of the tunnel passing life here, in tornado’s funnel No brave songs trip from this tongue no incantations bring forever young Bravery is not just a soldier’s right but given to you as you suffer this fight no medal placed upon weary breast but satisfaction that you’ve done your best The love reflected in your children’s eyes is proof you lived and your heart survives take each moment as it is and hold it dear face each day with honor’s fear |

   Yes, do not wait for the light at the other end. It is already here, in front of you. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Sharon, this is soooooo touching, sweet friend, I believe the love of a child is the most wonderful love of all and though I can't relate to it too well because I am growing up, I learn from others and to me it is a miracle! (sigh) This is so very touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This was written for another poet on another site. Her mother is dying of cancer and there is nothing further they can do - she is refusing chemotherapy. She doesn't have a great belief in God and doesn't want to hear the traditional 'have faith' words. |

Sometimes...even the words of our children are not enough when we are suffering and feel there is no light at the end of our tunnel... A very difficult time for all involved... Prayers I send... |
