The Clash Of Life

To trudge forward

Like a crim gone to slay

To move toward the end

Like a weighted soul e'ry day

Picking up your feet

To keep up an acceptable jog

Feeling the pain in each step

And the sluggish of a bog

Concerned with torments

Rue o'er regrets

The courageous soul

Keeping up 'neath it all.

The hardest fight

Is that internal war

While afflicted out,

We question what for.

Why keep up?

Why tolerate loss?

It's all for naught,

It's all we've got.

Bravery is movement

Courage is forward

Strength is a stiff lip

Power is prayer

Prayer for the better

Prayer for the chance

Prayer for the soul

Prayer for the battle

Life's unworthy fight

Is the only hope of light.

In the clash of iron

Sparks fly to illuminate

In the struggle

So painful

We finally gain

The dim light to see
