I Am A Boxer

I stand alone when I fight I use my intelligence and my might, Then I use my left, followed up with my right; I am a boxer. I do not rely on no other man I already know my battle plan, Whatever I do, I will, and so I can; I am a boxer. I knowingly wait for that sounding bell The scent of battle I can smell, Victory later the judges will tell; I am a boxer. When I am inside that 18 square foot ring I impatiently wait for that bell to ding, Then with my lefts and rights and hooks I will swing; I am a boxer. In the bout there is only me and him I am there for the desire and not for the whim, I always look about me, and there is no them; I am a boxer. In our match only I can protect me To win or lose I am that key, I rely upon my own strengths, and my own ability; I am a boxer. I am afraid of no man when I walk down the street There is no person that I am afraid to meet, I know that anyone can be beat; I am a boxer. Someday on my tombstone all that will be wrote Will be one simple line in note, To which my belief and my life I did devote; 'I AM A BOXER! ' Randy L. McClave
