In Remembrance of a Warrior

10 years ago today,
I remember our fallen warrior.
In my heart,
You were a soldier.
Rounds of Chemo,
Countless surgeries.
You faced it head on.
Remission, was your peacetime,
But war is never ending.
You may have lost the battle with cancer,
But fought, with everything you had.
