I Saw Love Today

I Saw Love Today

I saw suffering today, and I saw love.

I saw struggle today, and I saw patience.

I saw sadness today, and I saw determination.

Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives,

    mothers, fathers, children, and devoted friends.

Suffering and struggling and grieving together.

Fighting against this enemy cancer.

I wish I could fight this battle for you,

    but, sadly, I cannot.

So I will fight it with you.

We will be brave together.

I saw suffering today, and I saw love.

I saw struggle today, and I saw patience.

I saw sadness today, and I saw determination.
