When things go wrong as they often do,
(Over & over again, it's true.)
It's hard to keep your chin up high;
Much easier to lay down and die.
-
But giving up s'not the thing to do
For it helps no one, not even you.
Retreat if you must to lick your wounds,
Take the time you need to find your tune.
-
Then singing your song, loud & clear...
Return to fight for what you hold dear.
Never forget that your life is worthwhile,
Never forget that -- no matter the trial.
-
You can win, you must... just stay your course.
The one who fights hardest with no remorse
Will win the battle, the war, the prize,
And live out their life under sunny skies.
-
The glory belongs to the fighting one
Who never gave up with his song unsung.

Okay... it's a bit glurgy - and it won't win a prize (LOL), but it came from my heart as I struggled with my personal feelings to just give the "F" up after hearing the weather report.

I like it and it is a winner. I hate winter already :(

It wins a prize in my book! Very nice. And I would happily take some of your winter if I could - we seem to be skipping winter here this year.

Your poem comes from the heart, and it's certainly a "keeper." (Thank goodness for this brief break we're getting from the intense cold)! Hope you and the critters are enjoying this break...

You do yourself injustice with your critique. That is a poem to march with throughout the new year. I intend to win a few battles in 2009, and it's going to take a warrior's attitude to do that. Thanks for the inspiration.
