Never wears off

The excitement, the rush, of being published, well it never wears off. It's an amazing accomplishment.. and amazes me more than most with the stuff I'm dealing with now.

My poem was dedicated to a little girl I've known for about 3 years now. She has been battling a very rare and difficult cancer since she was 18 months old. She has had to undergo a number of treatments due to this cancer, Neuroblastoma, as doctors try to find a cure. She has been through over 11 surgeries (and she's only 5 years old, that's about two surgeries a year) along with blood platelet transfusions, CAT, MRI, and Nuclear scans, bone marrow biopsies, stem cell harvests, radiation treatment to head, orbits, and abdomen, Phase I radiation immunotherapy trial, and Phase II antibody immunotherapy.
Little Miss Taylor is now battling a new form of cancer. Chemo-Induced Leukemia has taken over the poor child's body.
Please pray for Taylor, and donate money if you can.

Oh, and here's the poem I wrote ;-)

Truly amazing as she fights her way
Agonizing everyday
Yelling, screaming, crying for help
Loathing all the pain that's felt
Ordinary, that's all she wants to be
Relieved from treatment, feeling free

Loving life while she's got the chance
Opening her heart, feeling the dance
Very fearful for when she might die
Everyone is blessed to have her in their life
