To my wife fighting Cancer on Valentines Day

All for you

Take my strength,

lean on me.

Use it to be as strong,

as your fight needs to be.

Take my smile,

that I force upon my face.

Made helpless by the fact,

I have no way to take your place.

Take my sense of humor,

take as much as you can.

Laughing at what life throws at you,

is really your best plan.

Lastly, take my love for you,

take extra, and put it in your heart on a shelf.

For the days that lie ahead when you can't gather

the courage to love yourself.

I love you.

Your poem takes my breath away,
Hope things are going well for you both.
