She's A Fighter Poem by Brian Bailey

She's A Fighter



She’s a fighter! ! She never gives up! ! Although she may be aged and weak at times, she still retains a determined, hopeful spirit. It is truly an amazing sight to see her making her way around the lengthy crescent, inch by inch, step by step. This beautiful lady reflects the driving energy and desire that made this Canada the great country that it is today. Oh, to be certain, we have our problems here, as does every country in the world. But where there is strength, passion and a desire to overcome problems, the only logical outcome can be the beauty, grandeur and opportunity that is so evident in Canada.

There will always be those who criticize. That is a given fact. It is then up to the rest of us to try our very best to emulate this determined, gracious lady. Her aspirations and actions will motivate us to act in the affirmative and well-being of all people, thus allowing this country to remain such a solidified, positive force in our world, one which is defined by such marvelous characteristics as beauty, wonder, compassion and excellence.

Dedication

This piece of work is dedicated to all seniors who try to support our young people, who are indeed deserving of all the faith, trust, hope and help we can muster.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I delivered mail on a street named Hallow Crescent many years ago. There was this older lady who always walked very slowly around the crescent every day. She was very slow, but it didn't stop her from completing the task at hand. It was very impressive to see day after day. In many ways, it was quite beautiful to see her do this exercise of strength and character. God Bless her. Thanks.
