When you told me that night,
That you were sick,
My heart sank deep,
And tears welled in my eyes.
I tried to comfort you,
As well as myself,
But it didn't work for me,
And I was scared to death.
You called me up a few days later,
Telling me everything was alright,
You were okay now,
But still I worried.
I saw you in the hospital,
Your eyes were bright,
You were smiling and laughing,
As we sat around the table with friends.
I prayed you would be okay,
You never left my thoughts.
I felt useless, helpless,
The feeling poisoned my veins.
Now you're out and alright,
Much better than before.
Fire blazed in your eyes,
You never gave up, never backed down.
You are a warrior.
