Like a predator it waited
For the wrong moment to hit
Striking when nobody watched
Then sneaking in, bit by bit
You didn't know this visitor
Who came in without invite
It ate away your defenses
Your body left in blight
Energy drained, fever up
Something was all wrong
Cursed mysterious stranger
With influence so strong
Identification made it clear
The intruder wanted to stay
But proud and strong
You started on your way
The way back to health
Isn't paved with roses at the start
Chemo aggressive took hold
threatened to tear you apart
Fighting with body and mind
Despair and hope alternated
One day up, the other down
And still we all waited
We stay in touch
Through cards, texts and calls
Sending our friendship and love
While winter almost wins from fall
Unique compassion and wisdom
Plus lots of humor on top of that
Your door was always open
Understanding to be had
We miss you dear YoYo
And admire your resolve
You will be back with us all
We need you to stay involved
Please fight for us my friend
Keep that hope alive and strong
In silence and word we are with you
to walk your road, however long
With love,
~Marion
