The Return

Life seemingly had me beaten and ready to quit,

But my heart stayed strong not willing to submit !

Hope of better was always a trusted companion,

As I knew before anyone I didn't face destruction !

Inside was belief nothing could cause my demise.

To be where I wanted was far too much a prize !

Against prediction total effort went into a return,

So this soul wouldn't reside in hell to forever burn !

When it became apparent I couldn't be defeated,

All were amazed at the determination exhibited !
