We'll Come Through Smiling

This is a poem I wrote while my husband was going through chemotherapy. It's part of my book, Setting The Furies Free

I see your struggles

And watch your pain

I try to comfort

Most times in vain

 

Your life is in turmoil

And you’re in misery

I’m right there with you

You’re sheltering tree

 

My hands hold your head

While cradling your heart

My arms engulf you

And never will part

 

I’ll be your shoulder

And support all your weight

I’ll dry all your tears

And hold all your hate

 

We’ll overcome this together

And fight to the end

We’ll come through smiling

My lover, my friend
