Fighting the Good Fight
Fighting the Good Fight ©
(Dedicated to those fighting Cancer)
Gary Shulman
July 6, 2021
With grace and power that only passion can create
She commands our attention
To love her is our fate
A teacher, a mentor, a mother, a friend
A life-force so strong, it never can bend
Bend to the powers that try to hold her down
Love keeps her moving forward
With rarely a frown
This temporary detour in the road of life
May cause our dear hero some temporary strife
But this we know and this we shall declare
That victory will be hers
And in that certain victory
The glory we’ll all share
About this poem
Dedicated to all those fighting Cancer and any other life-threatening condition.
