Fighting For Life

Battling for all your worth, to the bitter end

For a powerful message you wish to send

Struggling against the odds, never to give in

A reassuring strength comes from within

Showing with each breath life is to fight for

Every day your determination that much more

The disease will take you from us one day

But, this horrendous outcome you will delay

You are weathered rock duelling the elements

The world you honour with your brave defence

Everything you do now is to overcome agony

You are the embodiment of inspiration to see.
