My Hero, My Daughter
Though a battle was waged,
Your strengthβs been gauged.
I've learned a lesson little one,
Your courageΒ more bravely done.
Β
Cancer might've taken a part
But youβve shown a lioness heart
Climbing mountains with one hand,
Refusing a handicapped brand.
Β
Instilling self-pity is for fools,
Proving you live by your own rules.
A kindness shown steadfast and true,
Even after all you've been through.
Β
I envy your empowering heart,
Champion to a weakestΒ part
I love you so, come hell or high water,
Youβll always be; my Hero, My daughter.
*My daughter had cancer twice, lost her left hand to the battle. She is a strong young lady. She showed everyone she is a survivor. this picture I posted is of her when she was first diagnosed. She was three.

What a beautiful piece for your daughter, many blessings! Indeed a strong young lady and a strong piece too, much love :)
Your friend, Curious
Cheers, Poetess; what a brave little soul you have is a daughter. What a beautiful poem you'veΒ written as a laudation and praise for her courage and strength and such an honor that it is.Β
"Your strength's BEEN engaged" might be a consideration because of the grammar. That is in your second line 1st verse.
I can feel your heart flowing through your words and the combined spirit that is there to help her along.
Wonderfully written my friend and take care and have a good one especially with all those that love you dearly.
