Love Poem: Together We Are Strong

Together We Are Strong

We've only met on the internet:
a friend of a friend, and yet,
I feel your pain and send you love
with prayers for care from God above.

You've won the battle twice before
and God will not give you more
than you can handle on your own
but we are with you; You're not alone.

I've signed on to join your crew
and, just like that, our numbers grew.
When Team Monique Teal Sisters unite,
we all, as one, can win this fight.

There's still much more of life to live
and lots of joy and love to give.
A good man is hard to find;
You've got the best: loving and kind.

You both are heroes in my book
for maintaining a healthy outlook:
facing down the monster within
and not allowing cancer to win.

I admire your strength and bravery too,
in spite of all you've been through
so, dry your tears and battle on.
You're too tough to be cancer's pawn.
