One Who Will Keep Fighting On

His better days are in the forever gone

But it is his fear of death that makes him want to live on

Going through chemotherapy treatment and feeling quite ill

But to fight on for life he retains the strong will

His love of life and fear of death helps him to survive

In his mid sixties he fights to stay alive

He lives on his own separated from his wife

She left him when illness invaded his life

Of a recovery to full health the doctors little hope to him give

But he has the strong desire in him to live

He will not give up on life without a huge fight

At the end of his dark tunnel he can see light

For to make a full recovery from illness hope from him not gone

For life he is one who will keep fighting on.
