Can anyone help me write a verse in a card?

I'm sending a card to a friend of mine who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
I can't put my thoughts into words. I basically want to say: I think you're amazing and brave and I'm here for you always.
I want to find something inspirational and touching.
Ive been searching on Pinterest but I just can't find anything that feels right....
Does anyone have an ideas 🙈

The problem with a verse is it can very easily sound insincere and cheesy. I would stick exactly what you said here:

I can't put my thoughts into words. I want to say: I think you're amazing and brave and I'm here for you always.

That will sound far better.

Your own words will sound far better than anything we can tell you, or you can read on Pinterest. They will be sincere.

I think you're amazing and brave and I'm here for you always.

This is perfect

I agree a verse might be a bit much. I like this though because it speaks to strength but not a whole battle thing.
