A
Tribute to Nancy Aiello Williams
I have
faced the devil in his many forms and have known fear.
He has
wracked me with pain, but I endured.
I
battled him with weapons old and new and bear the scars of our encounters.
His
attempts to drag me down into the darkness were futile, for I had the strength
of my faith.
Though
I grew weary I fought on and gained strength from my friends.
In the
end he overwhelmed me with his evil, and though my body lay broken, my spirit
rose up and saved my soul.
I have
faced you O’Evil one and I have named you…Cancer.
~Marvin Allan Williams
