That's Life: A Different Kind of Challenge Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Andrea Dietrich. Date written: 02/09/2025

A marriage, once strong, is slowly disintegrating. People and negative forces r a g e against them; Laughed at in the trenches, yet, they fight to Keep everything glued intact. They fight against Gravity pulling their world down to the abyss. They fight to keep their flame from dimming out. Notwithstanding the hardships, what they have is Still unbroken. Love remains their candle; the life, The love, the family they've created; all worth Fighting for. They're winning the war, it seems.
