"For Robyn"

A poem for a friend can be quite inspiring
And for them sometimes quite flattering
This one special for a truly amazing woman
You will not find a woman less common

You may know her from way back when
You may have had years of fun
If you have known her for this long
You are a lucky person to have been in her song.

She's had some obstacles in her past like most
Issues we all have to some degree
But to come out on the other side of this
Shows us all how strong she can be

Her friends and family love her we know its true
They visit and ecourage her to help her through
Kind words and comfort make her happy
And when I'm near I feel less crappy

She has been through so much and still
she glows with a brightness and a steadfast will
Healing faster than the doctors believed
The progress made is truly hard to conceive.

I know she will be on the stage again
Singing her songs and laughing with friends
In my heart I know this day to be real
With every moment closer to a  life that appeals

So join me in supporting her dreams
Here she comes busting through the seams
of the restrictions forced upon her
With passion for life and for the love of others.
