A love letter to my wife Amy, who walks the line everyday taking care of her type 1 Diabetes.

I'm always moved and inspired by the strength from within that my wife shows (she often surprises herself with it when we talk about how far she's come).

Anyone touched by the experience of constantly caring for a chronic health condition or other adversity should hear this.

She lays her bandages out on the table
She has to be able to take perfect care
A living example of lifelong preparing
To go into battle prepared

She wonders at night how she got through the distance
Held up resistance to the urge to give in
A living example of lifelong endurance
To live with the battle within

Stronger and stronger through each day and night, she grows
Stronger and stronger with personal might
Her momentum's building up from within
She cries, "Failure cannot be an option again"
My gentle warrior
My gentle warrior

The vet'ran recalls those young days she retreated
Fleeing an enemy deep in her mind
A living example of growing to capture
The courage she struggled to find

Shell shocked and fatigued, yet her armor’s gleaming
She slays her demons with mind and with soul
A living example of a lifelong battle
To keep her life under control

Stronger and stronger through each day and night, she grows
Stronger and stronger with powerful might
Her momentum’s building up from within
She cries, "Failure will be an option again"
My gentle warrior
My gentle warrior
