The Hummer
My friends not all that well tonight
Still hes not one to give up the fight
Through all the years he stood like a rock
Hell walk the walk, when he talks the talk
Hed have you think that hes so tough
And that too much is not enough
But theres a side of him we know
Hes tried his best to not let show
Compared to most hes a giant of a man
But theres one thing even he understands
Perhaps you too remember the time
A wood tick knocked him on his behind
But tonight, its about the words he said
And how those words settled in my head
He said to me, that they needed him
And to this illness he would not give in
Now they also echoed within my heart
And I fought, to not let my tears start
How could I allow this man to learn
That I held within, this deep concern
Its much for his family, which he does care
This giant, of a teddy bear
Though its tough as nails that hell pretend
Hes a slipper full of (jello?) when it comes to them
And for your question, you seek an answer
Its yes; my friends contracted cancer
But he has such this will to live
And an attitude thats more than positive
Hes held this special frame of mind
From the beginning, and through this stretch of time
What we would consider a real bummer
Youll not hear it once, from the hummer

Oh Stephan, this is wonderful. He sounds like such a great person. And through your writing you've shown he obviously does not want pity, so I look on this with a smile and confidence that he'll be fine. Beautiful poetry as always.
