We Fight

We fight this powerful plague A plague that devours our true selves Ravaging our bodies and minds Like a flood of fast-moving water We put up dams to stop the flow With treatments and therapies Praying we are spared another year While fighting this cancerous devastation We need help from others to fight Our ammunition is scarce at times We have to rest, take breaks to refuel It’s often a long, emotional battle We become battle scarred warriors And fight with our weapons of Hope, faith and strength...
