Tributes & Poems


There is someone on our forum, who has been with us since the inception of the MOL FORUM. It is only fitting that we honor him and give thanks for his dedication, hard work and giving those that come to us hope. He is a husband, he is a caregiver, a believer, he is our rock through all the ups and downs and never asking for anything in return. So I have taken the liberty of dedicating this page to our dearly beloved Marty. Would you please come up sir and accept your award.

"A STAR FOR RYAN NEIPLING"

So many hearts, so many lives,
I think you touched each one.
Your memories are all that's left,
But your suffering is done.

As I walked outside tonight,
I gazed up towards the sky.
Tears were flowing down my face,
I stood and wondered why.

There were no stars, the moon was gone,
My heart was aching so.
As I searched up high for you,
"I asked why did you go?"

Then thru the darkness there it was,
One star appeared so bright.
I swear that it smiled at me
And said, "Don't worry, I'm alright."

My body starts to feel the warmth,
In time we'll finally see.
Reaching out I touched your face
Now you're forever free.

So every night I go outside,
I know right where you are.
The brightest light, God gave to you,
and called it "Ryan's Star".

All my love,
Christie Haldeman-Roeder
In memory
Of the dearest person I will ever know; my cousin

CANCER IS SO LIMITED

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendshop
It cannot surpress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit

FRIEND OR FOE

Many things have happened in my life,
both good and not so good.
Always you have been with me,
but are you friend or foe.
When others look upon you, they see an enemy
and for the most part, so do I.
But! If it were not for you,
I would have less understanding,
less compassion, less knowledge.
And! Yes perhaps my heart would not be,
as warm and accepting.
You cause me pain, and that pain is reflected
in the eyes of those of those whom I love,
and who love me, but have we not grown closer
because of that pain? You make me angry,
but if you did not, would I have the strength to fight?
you move me to tears, but are not those tears cleansing?
Do I fight you like a bitter enemy,
Or do I gently embrace you,
and send you away to another place?
There seems no right or wrong way, but to start on the journey,
I need to say your name and acknowledge that perhaps
the dividing line between friend and foe is a wavery one.
Cancer, you have helped me to learn so many lessons,
now go, and let me be free.

Don't Let the Clouds be Depressing to You.
By Nancy Postema

Look into the Clouds and find your very own
Angels to watch over you.

I believe in angels--
that they're always
hovering near
Whispering encouragment
whenever clouds appear,
Protecting us from danger
and showing us the way,
Performing little miracles
within our lives each day...
Yes, I believe in angels,
and I'm sure that you do, too,
And I'm convinced that angels
are watching over you.
