Hope you mean the world to me

On several occasions now

Favors you’ve granted

Demand reciprocity

Not to mention

Moments spent with you

Have carried me through

Some rough times of my own

When I hear of all

The pains and ailments

Plaguing you

I am inspired; amazed

At your resolve; your strength

To push on through

You are MUCH tougher

Than your slight frame belies

At closer inspection

That intensity is clear

Within your eyes

All these qualities

Have now prompted me

To bring a smile to your face

Every day I can

My highest priority
