the battle continues

seeking simple happiness, days of peace

you have paid your dues

yet badgered by the disease

escaped by few

thirteen years

is there a debt unpaid?

you are relentless, we know

the lesson is not clear

how can we learn

sadness, emptiness, pain

not mine , yes mine, and yours

leave now

I know you won’t

I love you more than I have expressed

thank you dad
