The Warrior
by Kendall Gregory
Joy in the air
Dancing through the wind
Smiles from ear to ear
But when I truly look
Into the eyes of deep blue
I see the silent plea
I don’t see joy
But sorrow, lust,
Pain & brokenness
You screamed
But they were
Deaf to your voice
You were left
Stranded, deserted
All on your own
You danced, cried
And even fell
But not of your own will
They tried
They truly tried
But you were so far
Not knowing
Not seeing
Not hearing
Nothing could help
Not even you
No matter what
So you became
A warrior
A fighter
You fought back
With your smiles,
With your patience
I know I don’t
Understand you
And never will
But you must understand
You are my hero
And I love you too.
Wow, Kendall. Just WOW. Thank you for your amazing heart and love for your twin. XOXO

Thank you all for your sweet comments! I shared them with Kendall. Sorry, for the late response. My computer was not working from home. 😦 Thankful I posted Kendall’s poem but it crashed right after that. (I am writing from work now) Thanks again!
Wow, Jill! Kendall is a powerful writer. Knowing the journey of your family made this poem touch my heart in a profound way. Tell Kendall to keep writing!
Thank you, Carol! She was very happy when I told her what you said. She does love to write! Love you!
