* Robin ( Rmasse2333@ aol.com ) sent this beautiful poem to me today. This poem helps to express the feelings I have for you, Karla, as you wait for your upcoming surgery...which is not too far away.
IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW
I WOULD DO IT JUST FOR YOU
AND SHARE WITH YOU ITS BEAUTY
ON THE DAYS YOU'RE FEELING BLUE
IF I COULD BUILD A MOUNTAIN
YOU COULD CALL YOUR VERY OWN
A PLACE TO FIND SERENITY
A PLACE TO BE ALONE
IF I COULD TAKE YOUR TROUBLES
I WOULD TOSS THEM IN THE SEA
BUT ALL THESE THINGS I'M FINDING
ARE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME
I CANNOT BUILD A MOUNTAIN
OR CATCH A RAINBOW FAIR
BUT LET ME BE WHAT I KNOW BEST
A FRIEND THAT'S ALWAYS THERE
If I could be there, when your have your surgery, I would; but, since I can't, I will do everything I can to be sure to let you know that you have not been forgotten -- that you are not alone.
I am sure that I will be able to encourage other IAS members and friends to send their get-well wishes to you too.
Most of all and Best of all, GOD will be there for and with you...everyday!!!
