He's  been through the fire
and he's  come out the other side.
With a heart full of courage
and a smile that can't be denied.

The burn marks on his soul,
are now just scars of the past.
And with each passing day,
his strength seems to last.

Though he's been through hell and back,
his spirit shines brighter than before.
And he's found a power within,
that nothing can knock down anymore.

So, when you see his smile,
it's not just a pretty thing,
it's a sign of his victory,
of the battle he's winning.

For my friend 🩵
