prayers for kathy

there is a girl at north davitia dialysis
that has been on dialysis for 19yrs
she has been in the hospitol now for 3weeks
she has a bactrail diease where its eating her flesh you can see her intestines from her stomach
there not sure how much longer she will have left

she had a boyfriend which they were together for 10yrrs and he died a few yrs back
when kathy was in portland at the hospitol he would drive up there after work and sleep on
the cot next to her and come back and go to work
this man truly loved kathy
i dont know what kind of health issue he had
but he had died several yrs back from a stroke
he would give up by paying for his co pay for his meds
to pay for her...(thats true love)

so i wrote this poem for kathy and the resptionist went up to see her
and gave her the poem and she cried

you have a life

a living soul

that some may go and some

may stay. as you have

come along way

in this world

when it comes to health

as no one can really

say. we sit for hours

and wonder what will be

next

as holding our breath

with a loved one at our side

or a loved one that just perhaps

can be waiting on the other side

as we have found the beauty in one

that had kept a promise at one side

and made sacrifices for his own self

to keep his love alive

as there is always a tide of change

where the sea can shift any where in the turns

as the storms will blow

but with you at the gathering stone

you have strived to survive, but yet your mind

tends to be on the other side
