Fighting Spirit

You under-estimate me at your peril,

Beneath a fragile shell is toughest metal !

An ability to withstand whatever may come

Is born of experiences and what I've done.

...........................................................

Learning to cope when the going was hard

Created someone who keeps driving forward.

Never admitting defeat or letting my head drop,

Remaining resolute to defend what I've got !

............................................................

Never letting a storm degrade a will to survive,

I'm one to truly appreciate what it is to be alive.

Knowing well from previous battles I've endured

My determination to prevail is truly assured !

.............................................................

Not willing to accept anything has been lost

Deciding to stand my ground whatever the cost

My fortitude is always there to give me dignity,

To keep me calm in a crisis and gain clear victory.
