Written for the daughter of a dear friend. It applies to all of us as we struggle through the painful parts of our life journey.


She has the heart of a warrior

She’s done this before

She won the last battle

She’ll win this war

She’s tough and resilent

This battle she’ll win

She has no intention

of doing this again

Surrounded by love

of family and friends

Many prayers have been said

for a positive end

Yes, tears will be shed

Hearts will hurt and then mend

Because, my dear,

Health is just ‘round the bend
