Love is Tough
The battle in a two man rink, the glove that swings and misses
Love is tough, in any case, the heart pounds, the feet pace
The passion of a winner, the gallop of the stallion, sometimes strays
Chin up, fists of furry, the blood rush of another champion belt, around your waist
Ali, a man of pride, he did not hide, a punch in life, made us smile
Though he can no longer carry the torch, he has boxed the best, none the less
Love is tough, the love of life, the gift of talent, the curse of disease, is crippling
Shaken hands, shuffled gait, struggling to stand, scared to fall upon your face
No disgrace, only the strength in the soul, can now take control, where Parkinson's
Tries to shame, no one to blame, for love is tough, and a legend is a legend, in every way

Hi Nancy,
Oh, dear, I wish you would have submitted this earlier. It's so beautiful, it might have made facebook. Such lovely lines to our fallen hero, Ali. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. There is nothing that is more touching than a tribute in poetry. Well done!
Peace and Love,
xox Larry
