Out of darkness
My fenland tiger
Reading words on palms
You came you saw
Your nimble hands
They bore
Reading
You whose name is courage
Out of darkness
My fenland tiger
You never let things pass
A dog and cane
They guided you
In rain
Walking
You whose name is courage
Out of darkness
My fenland tiger
Your endless aching journey
From Caithness
To Lands End
No less
Blinding
You whose name is courage
Out of darkness
My fenland tiger
You fought against them all
For your right
To be a mum
Without sight
Winning
You whose name is courage
Out of darkness
My fenland tiger
The cancer came to beat you
You bare the scar
But won again
And from afar
Surviving
You whose name is courage
Out of darkness
My fenland tiger
When life is bleak
I still think of you
A voice remains
To scorn pity too
Smiling
You whose name is courage
No Time to Think
