A New Year - A New Look

I told Dale Chihuly about the blue dots ornaments,

So very many years ago.

This creative man with a big heart

Loved the ornament that, to him, I did show.

He liked what the blue dots stood for

And how supporting cancer research we do,

But he also had great compassion on

What the cancer warriors go through.

We said, "Good bye" and he went back home

But six weeks later I did hear...

From his assistant, who called to say,

"Dale has a gift for My Blue Dots this year."

He never said a word or made a promise

But just sent these three blue dot vases to me.

To honor those who wear the blue dots

Now all those at Stanford can see...

How these blue dots vases in the R/O Dept.

Have been carefully placed right there,

To show that art brings hope, healing, and health,

And for the cancer warriors we do care.
