Not Yet Down

I have wounds too, Like you do. Some just take too long To heal they hurt For many years, The pain they birth Have dried my tears. I have scars too, Perhaps you do. Seems Life's battles - They do not end All these struggles Where Lessons lend Insight and some truth There lies the fruit. I am tired and weary Like you, maybe. And yet I find Strength to hit back In Life's ring To stand up, attack Keep breathing And though alone There's hope because I'm not yet down. Copyright ~~~Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~07.25.13
