For a Lady Who Inspires

I was looking through some of the birthday cards and notes sent by some those who know Kathryn and I found some words of encouragement that I thought would be good to share with all of you. Among them was this poem:

Poems for a Lady who Inspires

Your fight against cancer
Has created in you
A woman of great faith
To take refuge under His wings
To believe and trust God
To face all the odds

Your fight against cancer
Has created in you
A woman of great courage
To face the big 'C' head on
With strength, poise and confidence
Against all the odds

Your fight against cancer
Has created in you
A woman of great strength
Who doesn't falter
In the midst of fear and confusion
To overcome the odds

Your fight against cancer
Has created in you
A woman of great wisdom
To steadfastly clinging on to God
Without a second thought
Under the pressure of the odds

Your fight against cancer
Has created in you
A woman of great grace
Even though in pain
Never ever complain
Never succumb to the odds

Your fight against cancer
Has created in you
A woman of great compassion
Reaching out to the women
In the same situation
Helping them fight the odds

To sum it all
Your fight against cancer
Has created in you
A woman of godly substance
A shining testimony
A blessed encouragement
And most of all
A mighty conqueror
At the onslaught of the odds.

By Kam Siew Kin, a friend from Glad Tidings Klang.

In the days ahead I shall be posting some more of these words of encouragement by others who stood by Kathryn in her greatest hour of need.
