He was diligent in his duties
Working night and day
He punched the clock
For his eight hours
Then went home for more
Filling in where she couldn’t
Unable to help anymore
She laid on the bed
Distraught and in pain
Feeling her life was over
Since cancer had entered her body
He did all he could to help
The chores and meals
She just cried for hours
Feeling like half a woman
He told her he loved her
And did all he could
Would his love be enough
To conquer this battle
And bring back his wife
Or would the enemy win
Destroying true love from within

This is such a moving story Leigha. Pain and doubt do destroy from within.
Thanks Sadje!
