Woman of strength,
the pain never shows through your smile
but I know it is there.
My affection for you began immediately
and, as we grew closer,
my love for your spirit and sarcasm
earned you a spot deep in my heart
where you will stay, always.
Your illness will never dampen your spirit,
because you are fire,
and with that fire comes light and energy.
You show courage in your time of uncertainty
and you wear your suffering with grace.
You have an air of strength
in spite of the weakness you feel,
and you inspire me with your determination.
Woman of strength,
may you continue to bless my life
for many years to come.
I love you.
This is absolutely beautiful Sue, brought some happy tears….
Thanks. A few sad tears were shed writing it.
