Your hair's a little shorter now
but your smile is unmistakeable
Your resilience is being challenged
by life's great enemy and its barbaric cure
Bravery awe-inspiring
vulnerability only showing how strong you truly are
Bandana as cool as your even temper
If only those who saw it knew that being you, even now, is lucky!
I'm sure I've bumbled through my visits
the fear and helplessness sneaking into my eyes
as I desperately hide myself behind an inane story about work
But I know you see me
I know your insightfulness
nothing escapes your astute eye
even poisonous chemicals won't take that from you
You are a rare one, sharp as a tack,
Loved by so many
Feared by some I'm sure
but I will be there to help you strike fear into this cowardly disease
and I know there will be many of us trying to beat it away from you
I wish I wish I wish I could take more of the battle on
but please when you think you can't stand, on those inevitable down days
remember all of our love will be there to hold you up
so you can see the light at the end of this 5 month tunnel.
And in case you don't know - you are my hero...
and I'm so honoured to be your friend.
and I'm so honoured to be your friend.
