She Stayed Strong

For my friend Angela Rickaway

She Stayed Strong

Overwhelming feelings should make her heart go weak
Facing cancer head on with no sound of a shriek
She stands firm planted in true love
SHE STAYED STRONG
Knowing that her strength comes from Above
Her beautiful eyes so ever baby blue bold
I’m sure there’s much pain she still hasn’t told
But even in the darkest hours she digs deep in her soul
For the love of her true friends blesses her tenfold
She stands firm planted in true love
SHE STAYED STRONG
Knowing that her strength comes from Above
Her enchanting headscarf proves powerful at site
She is her own superhero so sexy in her fight
Her strength and courage arose with living will
Her time is ever precious more years here she shall fill
She stands firm planted in true love
SHE STAYED STRONG
Knowing that her strength comes from Above

A beautiful tribute Sandi, this is such a inspiring piece and real strength always comes from above! I have also in past few years been fighting prostate cancer now have it under control and my strength came from above. Blessings from Scotland, Gordon
