Fight On

​

Until you’re told there is no hope you must keep battling on,

Don’t dread the places you may have to go and where light has never shone;

The indignities may yet bring you down and your body loses strength,

But you should not fear those lows you’ll face or look to check the journeys length.

 

It doesn’t matter how hard it gets, you simply can’t give in,

Never think that this desperate fight is one you cannot win;

If someone else has survived this before, believe you will do it too,

But even if no-one ever has done so yet, you must know you can pull through.

 

In the hell that in which you find yourself there is strength that you must find,

Because you’ve a duty to those around you, not to leave the ones you love behind;

Life worships the hero or the one that wins the race,

But the true winner is the one that carried on, when he stared death in the face.
