Tia Martha

Martha
Inspiration inspired
Strength out muscled
Resistance a virtue
Smiles despite what stands in the way
Stares down this enemy that seems to ambush her every time
A war is on the horizon 
An epic battle she refuses to lose
Time so unpredictable
Each day she stands and walks out that door
Continuing to live everyday like life is precious
In our eyes her love is stronger and our hands are united
Arms ready to bare to march through whatever fire is around the bend
Her courage her impeccable tenacity to fight when the odds seem stacked
Make us love her even more
Whatever the future holds this family will be there for you to lend a hand
To carry you if need be on this battlefield of hope
Because you would do the same for any of us
This is why Tia Martha is our fortress
The war is long from over
But each battle is a victory in the hearts of us all
We love you so.....
