\n\r\n\r\n The Fighter\r\n \r\nI fight a battle every day\r\nAgainst discouragement and fear;\r\nSome foe stands always in my way,\r\nThe path ahead is never clear!\r\nI must forever be on guard\r\nAgainst the doubts that skulk along;\r\nI get ahead by fighting hard,\r\nBut fighting keeps my spirit strong.\r\n\r\nI hear the croakings of Despair,\r\nThe dark predictions of the weak;\r\nI find myself pursued by Care,\r\nNo matter what the end I seek;\r\nMy victories are small and few,\r\nIt matters not how hard I strive;\r\nEach day the fight begins anew,\r\nBut fighting keeps my hopes alive.\r\n\r\nMy dreams are spoiled by circumstance,\r\nMy plans are wrecked by Fate or Luck;\r\nSome hour, perhaps, will bring my chance,\r\nBut that great hour has never struck;\r\nMy progress has been slow and hard,\r\nI've had to climb and crawl and swim,\r\nFighting for every stubborn yard,\r\nBut I have kept in fighting trim.\r\n\r\nI have to fight my doubts away,\r\nAnd be on guard against my fears;\r\nThe feeble croaking of Dismay\r\nHas been familiar through the years;\r\nMy dearest plans keep going wrong,\r\nEvents combine to thwart my will,\r\nBut fighting keeps my spirit strong,\r\nAnd I am undefeated still!\r\n\r\n by S.E. Kiser\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n… but there’s a lot to be said for never giving in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
