A Fighter Like a Broken Heart

A Fighter Like A Broken Heart With pain that racks his body defeat is on his mind. Blood drips from his nose and lip his left eye beaten blind. He falls just like a timber on a cold and stormy night. A fighter like a broken heart in a never ending fight. He thinks about a simpler time his father and his mother. Blows keep falling just like rain one round after another. Then suddenly it's over the battle's reached its end. The fighter like a broken heart can now take time to mend. But life is like an ocean with the secrets it contains. And rivers for so long now dry its memory remains. Every dream that's found worth dreaming worth all we must go through. And every fight worth fighting to see that dream come true. Through the sorrow of defeat and the ring of victories laughter. A fighter like a broken heart is stronger not long after. So be strong and of good courage as you rise up from a fall. He who has the most to gain is he who risks it all. Edwin C Hofert
