Willed Vague sword Weak heart and sight Boundless wisdom, although My soul has full enthusiasm Body growing old and becoming weak My resolve outweighs the bullet Reeled swilled Billed.

The cracks may be showing Lasaad, but the underlying integrity, is in fine fettle, and still peels out, I think this one sums you up, as the upbeat guy you are, great wording, must be a major contender for the contest, cheers David
