For those who are faced with an illness,
That they know they will never beat,
It’s not then that they give up hope; they stand up on their feet.

They put in all their effort to live life to the extreme,
They won’t give in just because of the words of a medical team.

Its then that they fight harder to carry on with life,
They know they won’t be round for long to have children or a wife.

But yet this doesn’t stop them, their effort or their might,
They know that they will pass away but not without a fight.

What’s keeps them always going is the ones they love so dear,
They will never ever let them see the sadness or the fear.

The person with the illness must be strongest of them all,
Show their loved ones how to live and how to stand up tall.

So take advantage of the time we have with one and all,
We never know which one of us could potentially fall.

For when they die its then we say about them being kind,
How they loved their family dear, the ones they left behind.

We praise them for the strength they had and the fight that they put in,
But no matter how hard they fought, they knew they couldn’t win.

But still they carried on and always had a smile,
No matter how much longer they got, every minute was worthwhile.

They wouldn’t just give up and give in then and there,
Their life was oh so precious, and their love they wanted to share.

We think we have a plan for how our lives might go, unfortunately we can never truly know.
So quit the stupid arguments, the fighting and the jest.
It’s not something to annoy you; it’s your love being put to the test.

Let the minor details just pass without a thought and think of those who lost their loved ones and wished they had never fought.
