A Poem For A Dear Friend

This is a poem for my friend Lahoma, she is in very serious condition in the hospital.  For those of you that know her and those of you who don't her Journal is Lahoma Laments....please leave some words of comfort and say a prayer....thanks....Sandi
 
 
Friends come into your life
for a reason.
Some you only get to know for a
short season.
Others are longtime comrades
immersed in your childhood
memories.
Journal friends are special
knowing them from their
personal stories.
One such friend I found in
Lahoma, she who possesses
such an indomitable spirit.
She overcame so much in
her life constantly having
to show her grit.
Her faith was never crushed,
she has held it tightly within.
Our prayers are constantly
sent, dear Lord please wrap
your arms around my friend.
Now she is fighting the fight
of her life.
And I pray to God, please give
her strength and let her win.
 
Sandi

I've never really followed Lahoma's journal regularly, but I do recall that hers was one of the first journals I saw mentioned in journals, back when J-land was a more organized force (before the big exodus).  I've never seen any words said about her other than kind and loving things.  God bless her.

That was so sweet and so loving.  I know she will be touched if she is able to read this.  I spoke with Robert last night and the hospital sent her home.  Sending prayers for her peace now and to know she is loved.

This poem was so sweet and so heartfelt.  All these warm feelings are bound to help. Bless you for doing it.

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas,
