For Richelle Heacock

This Obstacle

You are a stronger and braver person than me
I wouldn't hesitate to defend myself
Against a grizzly bear
Armed only with my fists
If i were to go to war
And kill a thousand soldiers
I would not shed a single tear
Or lose an ounce of sleep at night
But I could not face what you are facing
Lying there in that hospital bed
Staring down this monstrous obstacle
You are a stronger and braver person than me
