A soilder in Disguise


Have you ever met a 3 year old
fighting in a war?
Fighting different battles
evening, day, and dawn.

I know of such a little girl--
her name Brianna Lynn,
a tough little cookie
one that you've never seen!

You see she's a soilder in disguise.

Her enemy is inside her body
that no one else can see.
She has to fight it daily
in order to be free.

Now she's got to fight this enemy,
but you see she can't use guns.
Instead she endures a yucky medicine
that will wipe the enemy--GONE!

While she's fighting this tough battle
that no one else can see,
Her tiny body gets war wounds--
Oh how can that be?

She's strong and she's tough--
She gets right up again!
You ask how can she do this?

My answer to you--
She's a soilder in disguise.

The days seem long, as well as nights-
but she's still standing on her little feet.
She's definitley one of the strongest
little girls,
that you will ever meet!

I ask myself one thousand times why--
why her?
Because she's brave and a lot more--
SHE'S A SOILDER IN DISGUISE!

This battle will not last forever and
that's a guarantee---
Because this little soldier
will rise to victory!

This poem was written for my precious
daughter Brianna Lynn Tellez from her
mommy that loves her dearly!



In My Daughter's Eyes

by: Martina McBride



In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes


I found this poem on another site and wanted to share it with all of you:D

The Chosen Mothers
by Erma Bombeck


Most women become a mother by
accident, some by choice
and a few by habit. Did you ever
wonder how mother's of
children with life threatening
illnesses are chosen?

Somehow, I visualize God hovering
over earth
selecting His instruments for
progagation with great care and
deliberation. As He observes, He
instructs His angels
to make notes in a giant ledger.......

"Armstrong, Beth, son, patron saint Matthew"
Forrest, Marjorie, daughter, patron saint Cecilia"
Rutledge, Carrie, twins, partron saint Greard."

Finally, He passes a name to an angel and says, "Give
her a child with cancer." The angel is curious. "Why this
one, God? She's so happy."

"Exactly," smiles God, "Could I give a child with cancer
a mother who does not know laughter? That would be cruel."

"But, does she have patience?" asks the angel,

"I don't want her to have too much patience or she will
drown in a sea of self-pity and despair. Once the shock and
resentment wears off, she will handle it."

"I watched her today," said God. "She has that feeling
of self-independence that is so rare and necessary in a mother.
You see, the child I'm going to give her has it's own world.
She has to make it live in her world and that's not going to be easy."

"But Lord, I don't think she believes in you," said the angel.
"No matter, I can fix that. This one is perfect. She has just
enough selfishness."

The angel gasps, "Selfishness? Is that a virtue?"

God nods. "If she can't separate herself from the child
occasionally, she'll never survive. Yes, here is the woman I will bless
with a child less than perfect. She doesn't realize it yet,
but she is to be envied. She will never take anything her child does for
granted. She will never consider a single step
ordinary. I will permit her to see clearly the things I see....ignorance,
cruelty, prejudice....and allow her to rise above them."

"And what about her patron saint" asks the angel, his pen poised in mid-air.

God smiles and says..."A mirror will suffice."

I know I am just so bad at updating. I think I'll be able to do a little more during these next 2 months. First of all I finally did graduate in May with my Master's Degree in Guidance and Counseling so I don't have to go to summer school and I FINALLY have high speed internet!! I can't believe I was on dail-up for such a long time!

I also updated the picture on the main page. Allysa did her First Holy Communion at the end of May. As you can see Brainna is so big now! She is really enjoying summer and loves to go swimming. Little David is not so little any more. He is sooo active. The girls were so calm compared to him. I am so thankful to God to be where we are right now. I sometimes go back and think about the year 2003 and can't believe I survived it! It seems like such a long time, yet I remember everything so vividly as if it happened yesterday.

Before updating today I was visiting some of our old friends. It is also so nice to see so many doing well. However, I also get so sad when I go to our friend's web pages that are up in Heaven. It's really hard not to ask why? Then I went to the Wilm's Tumor pages and couldn't believe all the new little ones that have been diagnosed! It is just too many. I really wish there would be a cure where if a doctor told some one they had cancer that they could go to the drug store and buy medicine and it be all gone!

Cancer touched our family again. My cousin was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He has finished treatment and is doing well. It did not spread, so we are soooo thankful for that.

Well I will get back here sooner than later now that I can update in 5 minutes rather than 5 hours!
Until next time
