The Battle: The Battle

by Trinity

I fight a battle everyday,
Against discouragement and fear;
Another foe stands in my way,
The path ahead is never clear.

I must forever be on guard,
Against the doubts that skulk along;
I get ahead by fighting hard,
But fighting keeps my spirit strong.

My victories are small and few,
It matters not how hard I strive;
Each day the fight begins anew,
But fighting keeps my hopes alive.

My progress has been slow and hard,
I've had to climb and crawl and swim;
Fighting for every stubborn yard,
But I have kept in fighting trim.

I've had to fight along the way,
And be on guard against my fears;
The feeble croaking of dismay,
Has been familiar through the years.

My dearest plans keep going wrong,
Events combine to thwart my will;
But fighting keeps my spirit strong,
And I am undefeated still.
