Cancer

Your indomitable spirit will always be with me. 
For as you continue to fight for life, 
I will continue to fight with thee, 
day in or night. 
For at times, 
You felt like a big fat zero 
With everything to lose, 
but you kept up the fight 
and became a person 
I call my hero. 
Even for the times 
You didn't want to be criticized, 
judged and analyzed. 
You kept your head up 
without losing apart of you, 
not even for truths of compromise. 
So you're a victim with the courage to live. 
Always facing setbacks, 
facts and comebacks 
God will always continue to give. 
So this poem is in honor of you, 
continue to keep on the fight. 
Because God will always have a cure 
and the answer. 
For you are his special child 
Who has been diagnosed with 
"cancer"

Dear Tiffany, your poem is both poignant and potent. I especially admire; "So you're a victim with the courage to live. / Always facing setbacks, facts and comebacks" - indeed a portrait of courage captured with poetic finesse. Congrats for your poem being featured on this week's home page. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
