Robert's Courage He fights an ongoing battle although cancer is a mighty adversary He tries to keep from conquering his mind since it has ravished his body. The illness has taken its toll But, his spirit is strong He tries to hide the pain But, its in his eyes. Today...Robert has come closer To losing the fight It seems the cancer has won A round in this game of life. He has shown tremendous courage Now...he's getting tired I want him to know...he is muched loved And very much missed and admired... Everyday that Don and Donny and myself sat with Robert...we could see and feel his pain..all Robert was thinking about was..making sure that I would be okay.. never thought of himself and his pain..he kept saying..I have to make sure your gonna be okay..this is my Robert..
