This affliction,
my enemy,
Vast pain,
Frosty end for me,
Agony undying truth,
Something incurable,
The undying hope
Something durable.
My loved ones,
Notice I'm weak,
She will notice
I'm brittle,
True love I seek,
My strength, very little.
Torn between truth,
Not the athlete from youth,
Working hour after hour,
Crippled my body,
A fragile skeleton,
I embody.
My grandkids,
Inspired,
Regardless if grandpa,
Retired,
Cherishing moments,
In life,
I'll wisp away,
Still my wife.
Goodbye,
Beautiful queen,
I've loved you,
Since I was eighteen.
