A Strong Lady

In the heart of the storm, a warrior stands tall,

A strong lady, facing a foe, she'll conquer it all.

Multiple sclerosis, a daunting plight,

But she's armed with courage, ready to fight.

With each sunrise, she greets the day,

Determined to chase the shadows away.

In her eyes, a fire burns bright,

Igniting hope in the darkest night.

She educates herself, learns the terrain,

Knowledge her shield against the pain.

Through valleys of uncertainty, she'll tread,

With resilience as her trusted thread.

She moves with grace, in each step she takes,

Defying the odds, whatever it takes.

Exercise becomes her steadfast ally,

Strength blossoms, beneath the azure sky.

In the garden of nourishment, she tends,

Feeding her body, mending the bends.

A diet of health, a feast for her soul,

Fueling her spirit to reach her goal.

When stress looms large, she finds her calm,

In the gentle rhythm of a soothing psalm.

Meditation's embrace, a refuge to find,

Restoring balance to her restless mind.

Surrounded by love, she finds her scribe,

Kindred spirits on this journey, side by side.

Their support, a guiding star in the night,

Guiding her through the toughest fight.

Medication, a sword in her hand,

She wields it bravely, as she takes a stand.

Adhering to the path, prescribed with care,

Finding solace in the healing air.

With each milestone, she celebrates,

A testament to her strength, her fate.

In the cycle of life, she weaves her song,

A melody of resilience, eternally strong.

So here's to the warrior, fierce and true,

In her heart, the courage to see it through.

For in her battle, we find our light,

A ray of  definite hope, shining ever bright.
