The good fight...

Brittle are my bones, how easily I bleed

Eye sight fading, no help I need

A river of red I feel coming from my being

Strength I find in the future I'm seeing

Whether a delusion or a pipe dream

My soul burns for that reality

I am, whole hearted, going to burst from every seam

No fear do I feel for my mortality

I stagger to my feet once again, ready for more

To protect those who mean the world to me, I will, I can, I shall endure

I may fall, but I must rise, till father time takes my breath

I'll rest once the dangers lay motionless, & only then shall I shake the cold hand of death

A hero I may not be to many, but to those few, I shall rest peacefully for eternity

Now, make your move, one & all

I have yet to hear the reapers call...
