Kimo Therapy

You lived the life the way you liked, carefree
Like smoking you did not quit
Your lungs are now fighting.

You have the courage to face the future
With the healing touch of God
You’ll win the bleak battle.

With undaunted hope you’ll cross the dark night
Reach the bright horizon where
A new dawn waits for you.

I like how you compared the same fighting spirit that kept smoking to the spirit that will now fight the disease it caused. Great message.
