Lance Armstrong
"During our lives we're faced with so many elements as well, we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a hand-to-hand battle with failure, head down in the rain, just trying to stay upright and have a little hope. The Tour isn't just a bike race, it tests you mentally, physically, and even morally."

My man Lance is gearing up for his sixth Tour de France. His victories have served as sparklers of hope for many.. Riding with you in spirit Lance...~~~~~~~~~~~~xoxo, Patti

Hold on..though it seems that there is nothing left for you.
Hold on..in the darkness,till the sun comes breaking through.
Hold on to your courage in the chaos of your grief.
Hold on, bravely, blindly, to your faith, and your belief.
Let go now,and you may drift,tossed by the waves of chance --
hurled into strange waters by the storms of circumstance.
The sea of life is deep--'tis only fools who venture out --
at the mercy of the winds, upon the rocks of doubt.
Hold on..though you've lost the thing that made your life worthwhile.
Hold on with the strength you've got. Believe in God --
Though it seems that hope has fled and every joy has gone,
Listen to the Voice within that says to you HOLD ON!

To reverence a cloistered star
Within the distant blue;
To wait the promise of the bow
Despite the cloud between,
Is Faith-the fervid evidence
Of loveliness unseen....John B Tabb
