When you can no longer stand on your feet
it is not yet the moment you must yield
to perceived fate. On knees, but on the field,
you have not reached the point of swift retreat.
When you are right where pain and courage meet
but hope remains your solitary shield
your deepest strength will at once be revealed,
and you will choose to rise and not retreat.
You may not stand among the very strong,
nor speak the language of the nobly hard,
but in your heart you know you will not tire;
instead you will keep fighting for as long
as you retain the spirit of bright fire.
