“My life laid before me… my treasons my troth
Wrapped with transcendence in fine sacred cloth
My breath must surrender to cold mortal brew
As wildflowers bend neath pure morning dew.
And then there were angels
Filling the sky
Lifting me upward…

These are the words of a fellow blogger and poet.
Words that affect me more than one can know.
So I would like to use this post to thank him today
for being a glimmer in the night…and an inspirer of hope.
Because in our own way, we are all physicians.

He is Steven Michael Sanders,
‘Michael33’
I am asking you to visit him,
because his poetry will enliven you,
and his story will inspire you.

My dearest Phoebe…
Since I saw this post I have been lingering in my thoughts of how I could ever express to you my deepest gratitude. What an honor it is to read your words and to know how much something that I have written means to you… That in itself is the greatest gift a writer could ever hope to receive. Thank you Phoebe…
Michael
No…thank you, Michael. Thank you for being who you are…and for showing me what real courage is. You are truly an inspiration to me! 🙂
Gorgeous, Phoebe. Thanks for sharing! I am off to check his blog out.
Thanks for the links, he’s quite a guy. It takes a special person to endure such trials and not lose hope or your sense of humor…
Just beautiful…..your posts are always thought provoking, love them catchatwithcarenandcody
I visited Michael….you’re right – he’s a special person on a special journey……and I wished him well on it hoping the words of a survivor might help – oh – I also gave him a HUG like you did! Hugs are miracle-workers…………….
Love (and hugs) Pam and Sam
Thank you dear Pam…I am certain he will be encouraged by your words. And yes…hugs…the least we can do in this virtual world…but it does so much! 🙂 Have a wonderful day! -phoebe and samantha 🙂
