My Knight In Shining Armor

My Knight In Shining Armor

By Miranda Caverley

For My husband Jeremy

Pain envelopes me.

Tears fall from my eyes,

Screams escape my mouth

as once again the diseases attack my body.

Hands try to comfort and heal

that which there is no cure for.

As the pain continues to swallow me up

like quicksand.

My knight in shining armor stands watch

Trying to fight the demons that attack me.

He wipes a tear from his eye 

for he knows he is fighting a losing battle.

But yet he stands watch over me.

His love for me unfailing 

and forever faithful until the end.

My knight is my heart helping me to keep going 

even as I fight against the will to give up and die.

My heart keeps me alive and to continue to fight.

Fight the diseases and demons every day.

His love keeps me.....
