a Friday For Emily

This sweet girl above needs our prayers.  I know we could use prayers all the time, from every person we know, and then some.  But, this precious girl could really use some major Power of Prayer!  This is the news she just received.  So, I am voting we give it to her.  The Power of Prayer, that is.  

You see, this lovely lady many of us know as Summer, is also a major fighter of a terrible disease that is attacking her body.  And she thought it would be an excellent idea to pull the bloggy world together to raise awareness, hope and prayers for her sweet friend.  And I think she is awesome for that.  But, really I already did think she was awesome.  You should just see her positive spirit...even while feeling terrible from chemo and pills.  

These two ladies are a force to be reckoned with!!!  So, I leave you all with this. 

MY STRENGTH

by Bobby Kramer Jr.

I would say my best quality

is the strength that I possess

not like many people,

different from the rest.

people take there chances

and try to take me down

this is something they'll never do

as cocky as that might sound.

My strength has pulled me through many battles

and still I stand here tall

my head has always been up

you will never see it fall.

My battle wounds that I have with me

are a sign of where I've been

I wear their scars proudly

but the pain I hold within.

My strength has made me a leader

and gave me the will to succeed

I will always give my all

failure is not an option for me.

In this day of life

It never rains but always pours

my strength will keep me standing strong

through the worst part of these storms.
