I see a great tragedy in your feat

You successfully raised my siblings and me

You got through what would end most couples

but stuck together and your strenght doubled

Although turbulent arguements would often occur

Soon enough you would come back down to earth

Over thirty years you stayed together

Though admittedly you could have done better

Then cracks surfaced from the dark

Scarring both your hearts and leaving marks

but then you found room to forgive and forget

and then came the bad news, you have six months to live
