For Eileen Granfors, who was inspired by my twin sister, who wrote a poem called 'Wrestling.' Thank you, Eileen. =] And thank you, Karen, for inspiring me. You are a champion. =]

bodily, i heave him up into
the air, over my shoulders
and throw him down. i do
not have time for his crap
today: thinks he can slow
me down, he's got another
thing coming. got a whole
lot of living left to do ---- not
about to let adversity or
trouble get in the way: take
that, pain from Fibro and
arthritis. look at your friend
fear, here: got him pinned
to the mat of overcoming:
he's trembling in his shorts
---- sure you want to wrestle?
not going to play nice: want
to get rough with me, will get
rough right back. see, with
God on my side, i. can't. lose!
(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (1/20)
But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength; they
shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not
be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint. --- Isaiah 40:31
U know I was going to blow right by this one - thought it really was about "wrestling" the sport, then I saw the quote at the bottom from Isaiah 40 and bang! I have a embroidery print on my bedroom wall of that saying right now here at Ft. McCoy that my mom needled for me in 1991... Still looking towards each morning in my own struggles and believing in the DAY! (of fullfillment)

Watch out for that triple-whammy-headlock-and-tickling-your-ribs technique, Karla, otherwise you have got the bull by the horns and the crowd is shouting, "Olé!"

Brilliant. This makes me want to phone a certain NYer and get her to fight and overcome.
This is a write of an overcomer, without any doubt!
