Love Of Life

Love Of Life

Having appreciated all there is and its splendour,

Fighting so valiantly with every ounce of strength,

He can not submit to the pain in blissful surrender.

He shall battle to remain in each priceless breath !

..............................................

Not accepting the inevitable as others chose to do,

Spirit and love of the world sustains will to endure !

He can not give up what takes a lifetime to accrue !

Glorious memories are constant to stoically savour.

..............................................

The skeletal frame masks a cast iron determination.

No savage illness shall deprive him of what is prized !

His carers bear witness to a feat beyond imagination,

His resistance to be remembered long after he's died !

..............................................

Tribute to my father.

Hello Richard...

I apologize it took awhile for me to comment...

I read it a few times though...

You both were very blessed...

He will always be your Dad...

I love how you shared him in such an honorable and unselfish way with us...

Through your words it was the loss of us who didn't have the joy to meet and to know him...

Beautiful tribute! 

Thank you for sharing...

Best wishes and Blessings!

HUG!
