From The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel The Boxer-verse 6 I’ve truly fought the good fight And I’ve lost more than I’ve won But no matter what the outcome I know that I can live with pride For I gave the best I could in every fight Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie

That's quite well penned. So much felt between the lines. You have painted it with such subtle grace, I liked it. Truly moving!
