Keep flying high, even as you fall.

But the one that's been harnessed by fire, stone and kill.
The shield that is mightiest does not hide from a fight,
But keeps soldiering on, in all its steely might.
The heart that is weak is not the one that breaks,
But the heart that refuses to move past the ache,
And wallows in the bitter and pain of the old,
Till it loses its fire, and grows dark and cold.
Keep going on, even as you fail,
The ship that's not sunk is still fit for sail.
Keep looking up, through the falling rain,
Watch everything end, as the sun shines again.
