Life is not always easy
Its road is often rough
But God gave us all
A potential to be tough

Some are surely stronger
Because they have to be
A visible inspiration for
Those who need to see

I know a very special lady
Takes every trial in stride
No matter what takes place
She handles it with pride

She made me see the world
From another point of view
I wish that I could emulate
A courageous heart so true

Thank you so much Katie
For simply being you
And showing me the way
That I can be strong too
