Every day,
I see the same faces
in and out of hospital.
Every day,
they greet me with
a smile and a
friendly word.
These people,
despite everything,
find hope.
Find happiness.
They don't give in
to the beast of
sickness.
But instead,
they fight.
They fight pain
with hope.
They fight fear
with love.
They don't complain,
but rather find
reasons to laugh,
reasons to fight,
reasons to hope.
